Tales from the Gas Station: Volume One (Tales from the Gas Station, #1)

by Jack Townsend

Tranquility is a quiet, empty gas station at four o’clock in the morning.

Young enough that I still get carded any time I buy alcohol, but old enough that I can’t go to a high school party without looking like a super creep. I was definitely not a kid, but hardly felt like a proper member of adulthood. Stuck in that awkward age between two generations that want nothing to do with me, and nowhere left to go but dead.

So I did what anybody else would do in my situation. I ignored it and hoped the problem would go away on its own.

On days like this, way out here at the edge of civilization, the rest of the world could come to an abrupt end and I wouldn’t even know until my shift was over and I tried to leave.

As humans continue their daily toils, angels and demons gouge out their eyes at the unspeakable visions of what is to come.
