The Night She Watched the Man at the Van Buren Gas Station

On a frozen December night in 1993, Luna's car died on the shoulder of Route 9, just outside Van Buren, Missouri. She walked to a gas station — the only light for miles — where the attendant seemed to have been waiting for her. He didn't speak. He didn't blink. He just watched her from behind the register, smiling that same smile, as the clock above the cigarette rack cycled through hours she couldn't account for. Outside, the pumps ticked over without anyone touching them. This is a story about being seen when you desperately want to be alone — about the small kindnesses that feel wrong, and the wrong things that look kind. Luna tells it quiet, the way you might tell a secret you're still not sure you believe.
