You glance back at the bus you'd practically crawled your way out of.
Speaking of:
The buzzing in your head is still present.
But, it feels like it's slowly fading into the background; like you're getting used to it.
You make your way over, now painfully aware of the pain in your right shoulder.
It's small,
with only two spots to fill up gas, an overhang above both of them.
Muffled radio music plays through the cheap speakers above.
It feels somewhat ominous, given the state of emptiness of the place.
You push through the glass door, a little chime signaling your arrival inside.
The music is a little bit more clear indoors.
Just as you predicted:
It's empty, no one behind the counter.
But, the gas station is fully stocked, plenty of food, drinks, and various other goods.
Only one of the overhead lights is working, though, the other just giving the occasional flicker; you can see enough, but it's eerily dim in here.
Is there anything you want to look for while you're here?
There is a short hallway in the back, with doors labeled Restroom and Office across from each other,
along with an unlabeled door past both of them; you assume it's a back entrance.
There's a rattling noise coming from either the office or through the back door; you can't really tell which.
