It's late October, just past midnight, and I'm driving through the high desert of New Mexico on a stretch of road that hasn't seen a new tire track in hours. The exit for Coyote Springs appears out of nowhere — a town that stopped being a town when the interstate bypassed it in the 1980s. But there's a gas station still open, a single bulb over the pump, and a woman inside who knows my name before I say it. She tells me she's been waiting for someone from the coast to stop by, that the station's well water comes from an aquifer that doesn't exist on any map. She gives me a key to a motel that burned down in 1992 and says the room is still waiting. I take the key because the alternative is driving another hundred miles through the dark, and I've learned that in a place like this, there are things you don't refuse. What I find at the motel is a room that hasn't aged a day since the fire, a bed still made, a lamp still warm, and a mirror that shows someone standing behind me who isn't there when I turn around. The station light goes out at 4:17 AM, and the key in my hand feels like it's been there my whole life. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #LighthouseLogs #Episode50 #NewMexico #DesertGasStation #CoyoteSprings #MotelKey #AbandonedTown #Aquifer #MirrorHorror #LunaNarrates #SoloHorror #Anthology #LateNightDrive #HighDesert #UnresolvedEnding #AtmosphericHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
