I Work At A Gas Station. There's One Customer I'll Never Forget.

[@Broeckchen]

Fun fact: if you are ever in Ralph's situation, where you have someone whose impulse is to do things like looking back or down when they really *shouldn't* - a good way to counteract this on your end is to instead use alternatives. Instead of "don't look back" you can say "focus on my face!". It's painful and frustrating at times, but people who feel close to death don't consciously think anymore a lot of the time. This is why you aren't supposed to rescue drowning people if they struggle, for example. Their behavior becomes irrational enough to drag down others with them. Their unconscious part of the brain can also cut out "not' from sentences, which apparently happens outside of stress situations too. Therapists will tell their patients to avoid self affirmations containing the word "not" because those can backfire instead.

[@mary-janereallynotsarah684]

Yeah never tell people don't look down. There's a lot of guided relaxation meditations online that I hate because they don't understand the core principles of what's relaxing. They keep saying stuff like let go of stress... all I think of then is stress. They say don't think about what's stressing u... obviously I think about what's stressing me. They should only focus on the positive stuff. "Ur feeling light and good and blah blah blah" Honestly so many make these mistakes I just avoid guided meditations. I might enjoy them if I could trust them.

[@Broeckchen]

@@mary-janereallynotsarah684 Precisely. I'm sorry that you have to deal with this. I hope you find a few good meditations you can trust and just return to when you need them!

[@mary-janereallynotsarah684]

​@Broeckchen thanks! ❤ I hope u do too. Funny is I find Lighthouse super relaxing and fall asleep to these stories when ASMR doesn't work.

Well that was horrible..not only did the minimart lose their flashlight, Ralph never got paid for the tow truck ride.🧐 Moral to the story; get the guy's credit card _before_ you haul him out to his analog wendigo relatives.👍

[@MrDuneedon]

Not only excellently narrated, as per usual from Lighthouse, but VERY well written. Really dig this author!

[@anklemania]

Agreed! When the story is especially great, the narration just pulls it altogether, in my opinion. That's why Mr. LH is at the top of the best of the best. He really brings the story to life, love to just stream his longer stories all night to sleep to.

[@joeygoodwin9629]

Author of the story here! Thank you so much for enjoying my story! I've only been posting stories to Reddit for about a month now, and to see such positive reception from people like you guys makes my day! It helps bolster my confidence in attempting to pursue my dreams in making a career out of writing! And Lightouse Horror did a kickass job in narrating it as well!

This is how you do suspense, and while the story isn't predictable, you know something bad was gonna happen. Well done to the writer and well narrated as always.

[@maxhonneger3278]

Dear LH: You did an excellent job (as always) narrating this story. However, I must point out that, while not actually plagiarism, this author took their plot from a short story by Stephen King entitled "One for the Road", that was published in a book compilation of short stories by King published in 1978. The book was called "Night Shift".

[@joeygoodwin9629]

Hey Max, author of the story here! Believe it or not man, I actually didn't even know about the Stephen King short story you're referencing, or the anthology it was in until after I'd posted that story, and someone left a comment with the title. Trust me, I had a momentary rush of panic when someone who knew about it explained to me how similar my story's setup was to it, as I didn't want to be seen as taking anything from any other author, big or small!

[@Jath2112]
