Roadside

Ethan Carter, a part-time mechanic barely scraping by, takes on the night shift at a remote auto shop, expecting nothing more than a quiet, uneventful evening. The work is simple—routine maintenance, a few late-night customers, and the occasional long-haul trucker in need of a quick fix. At first, the night moves along smoothly, almost eerily so.

Then, just past midnight, a man walks in. Disheveled, gaunt, and unnervingly calm, he doesn’t seem in need of car repairs. His presence alone sends a ripple of unease through the garage. At first, Ethan brushes it off—just another oddball passing through. But as the minutes stretch into hours, the man’s erratic behavior takes a more sinister turn.
