you can't shake the feeling that the shop exists in a place where time moves differently, and leaving may not be as easy as entering.

On a desolate stretch of road, far from the comforts of civilization, stands an eerie coffee shop, its flickering neon sign barely visible through the thick fog. The sign reads "Traveler's Rest-coffee stop," beckoning weary drivers who pass by, craving a cup of coffee to keep them awake. The road is quiet, with no other signs of life for miles, making the shop seem like a mirage to the tired eyes of travelers.

Inside, the shop is dimly lit, with an unsettling stillness in the air. The d�cor is outdated, as if frozen in time, with old-fashioned booths and a counter that shows the wear of countless visitors. The atmosphere is thick with the scent of aged wood and a faint aroma of coffee, something feels off.

The menu is cryptic, offering beverages with names like "lost Dreams" and "forgotten Secrets," each promising an experience far beyond a simple cup of coffee. The barista, a silent figure with a distant gaze, moves with an unsettling precision, pale with an unsettling smile, serves the coffee with a knowing look. The coffee itself is oddly rich, with a taste that lingers long after the last sip, but it does little to banish the exhaustion of the road.

the traveler who made his escape lived to tell his story said :

The road had stretched endlessly for hours, a barren strip of asphalt cutting through the night. My eyes were heavy, the monotonous hum of the engine threatening to lull me to sleep. Just as I contemplated pulling over for a quick nap, a flickering neon sign emerged from the thick fog through the darkness: "Traveler's Rest - Coffee stop ",When the sign for "Coffee Stop" appeared out of nowhere, it felt like salvation. I pulled in without hesitation, the crunch of gravel beneath my tires the only sound in the dead of night.

The coffee stop was small, almost out of place on this deserted road. The windows were tinted, preventing me from seeing inside. I pushed the door open, a soft chime announcing my arrival. Inside, it was oddly quiet, as though sound had been swallowed by the dimly lit room. The d�cor was outdated, like a relic from a forgotten time. A faint smell of coffee lingered, though it seems stale, like it had been brewing for far too long.

The barista, a pale figure with hollow eyes, greeted me with a silent nod. I ordered a black coffee, needing something - anything - to keep me awake. The first sip was surprisingly strong, almost bitter, but it did the trick. I settled into one of the creaky booths, letting the warmth of the cup soothe my hands.

Suddenly a creeping drowsiness hit me. Not the usual kind. This was? unnatural. My eyelids felt heavy, impossibly heavy, even though I had just consumed a cup of caffeine. I blinked hard, trying to stay alert, but the drowsiness was relentless, pressing down on me like a weight.

the room seemed to twist, as though the walls themselves were bending closer. The photographs on the walls - portraits of past customers - seemed to move, the faces shifting in the dim light. Then, my eyes landed on one of the pictures, and my blood went cold. It was me.

I stumbled back, knocking over the chair. Panic surged through me as I looked at the other photos. The faces, once strangers, now appeared familiar - other travelers, perhaps, just like me. I turned to the door, but the room felt smaller, the walls closing in. the shadows thickening like dark vines reaching out to hold me. The door was only a few feet away, but it might as well have been miles. My breath quickened. I had to leave. Now.

My legs felt like lead, and my vision blurred. The coffee...there was something wrong with it. My mind raced, but my body betrayed me, sinking deeper into the heavy drowsiness that enveloped me. The last thing I saw before darkness claimed me was my reflection in the glass, already fading, another face to be added to the wall.

As I was about to lose the last drop of hope, I don't know how I managed to move. Instinct, fear, sheer will - an urged heat filled my body . I forced myself up, dragging my body toward the exit, my heart pounding. I could feel the pressure in my head as the room seemed to shift around me. I reached for the door handle, and for a terrifying moment, I thought it wouldn't open.

But it did.

I stumbled out into the cool night air, gasping for breath. The shop's lights flickered behind me as if the building itself was alive, but I didn't dare look back. I ran to my car, started the engine, and floored it, not stopping until I was miles down the road. Only then did I glance in my rearview mirror.

There was nothing. The Coffee Stop was gone. No sign of it, only the stretched road remained.

The sudden heat I've felt earlier was a cut in my left arm because of a sharp nail in the table I sat in , thanks that the nail was there otherwise I could still be trapped there and God knows what could happen to me. The bleeding drained out whatever poison I consumed.

The coffee stop is out there, waiting for the next traveler to pull over.

If you ever see a place called Coffee Stop, do yourself a favor - keep driving.
