A toll booth seems like one of the most routine jobs imaginable — long hours, passing headlights, exact change, and the steady hum of traffic. But on this isolated stretch of highway, employees are given a list of rules that go far beyond collecting payment.
In this original rule-based horror story, a worker discovers instructions that feel more like survival guidelines than workplace policy. Never open the booth window after 2:17 a.m. If a driver has no reflection in the side mirror, wave them through without speaking. If a car passes twice within five minutes, report it — but do not look at the license plate. And if the radio goes silent mid-sentence, lock the door immediately.
As the night shift unfolds, headlights linger too long, engines idle without drivers, and something waits just beyond the edge of the road.
