Lighthouse Logs — Fexingo Horror

February 2023, just outside Ely, Minnesota. I took a job cataloguing ice-fishing shacks on White Iron Lake — counting the shacks, noting which were abandoned, reporting back to the county. It was meant to be a quiet week of solitude. But on the third night, I found a shack that wasn't on any map. Inside: a kerosene lamp still burning, a hole cut in the ice, and a single photograph face-down on the floor. I flipped it over. The photo was of me — standing on this same lake, in clothes I've never owned. The ice groaned all night. I didn't sleep. By morning, the shack was gone, but the image stays burned behind my eyes. This is what I saw.

Outside a Waffle House off Interstate 55 in Mississippi, the parking lot was empty but the fluorescent lights were on. I stopped for coffee at 3 a.m. and found a waitress named Della who had been working the same shift for forty-three years. She poured my cup without asking what I wanted. She knew. The cook behind the window never turned around. The grill sizzled but nothing was on it. I sat in Booth 7 and watched the same man enter every few minutes, sit in Booth 3, stare at the jukebox, and leave. Della said he died in 1981. Then she pointed to my booth and asked if I could feel the woman still sitting beside me. I could.

In the summer of 2019, Luna pulled off Interstate 55 at Exit 73, somewhere between Missouri and nowhere. A twenty-four-hour burger joint called 'The Hub' sat alone under a buzzing sign. She ordered at 2:13 a.m. — a number forty-three combo with a chocolate shake. The cashier, a girl named Beth with tired eyes and a name tag that didn't fit right, took her money and said, 'You might want to sit near the door.' At first, the place seemed normal: sticky floors, a flickering fryer, the low hum of a cooler. But the clock behind the counter kept resetting to 2:13 a.m. Every time Luna looked, it was 2:13 again. And the orders kept coming out wrong — not the food, but the tickets. Receipts with her name, her order number, but dates from months ago. Then from next year. Then from a date that didn't exist. Beth wouldn't meet her eyes. The manager, a man with a nametag reading 'David,' just stared at the fryer. And the drive-thru speaker kept crackling with a voice repeating the same order: number forty-three, chocolate shake, no ice. Over and over. Luna ate her burger cold, watching the second hand of the clock twitch backward, and understood that some places exist in the space between minutes — where time loops like a skipped record, and the night shift never ends.

In the summer of 2007, I drove through a stretch of Texas farmland where a single billboard stood by an empty field. The woman on it was advertising a diner that had been closed for years. But every time I passed, her dress was a different color. Her smile had shifted. Her eyes followed the car. I started stopping. I started taking photos. The last time I saw her, she was wearing a dress I had worn the week before. This is a story about roadside fixations, the weight of being seen by something that has no business knowing you, and the moment I realized the billboard wasn't just changing — it was remembering me.

Two years ago, I pulled into a derelict fast-food drive-thru outside Deming, New Mexico, at a quarter past two in the morning. The menu board was dark, the windows boarded, the parking lot cracked and empty. But the speaker crackled to life — a teenage girl's voice, tinny and worn, asking for my order. I was tired and lonely, so I played along. She knew my name. She knew things she had no right to know — the diner I'd eaten at six hours before, the motel room I'd booked, the name of the woman whose photograph I keep in my glovebox. I tried to leave, but the speaker kept talking, and the voice began to sound less like a recording and more like something waiting. This is what I told the night manager at the gas station across the street. This is what I'm still driving away from.

Outside Elko, Nevada, on a frozen February night in 1998, the flickering vacancy sign of the Silver Sage Motel called Luna inside. The clerk, a woman named Marlene, held out a key without being asked. Luna took it. The room was clean, ordinary, and waiting. But at three in the morning, the vacuum hummed alive in the hall. It stopped outside her door. Then it whispered her name in a voice she almost recognized. The next day, the motel was gone—just a field of sagebrush and rubble. A passing trucker said the Silver Sage burned down in 1985. Luna drove away with a key that still smells of smoke and old carpet cleaner. This is a story about the places that remember us, and the doors that never quite close.

Luna recalls a summer night in 2017 when she took a detour off Route 9 in Vermont and climbed the old fire tower on Mount Horeb. At the top, she found a logbook with entries that didn't just record fires—they recorded her. The last entry, in her own handwriting, was dated three days before her arrival. She stayed until dawn, watching the tower's shadow lengthen across the valley. Some things are better left unwatched.

It was late October, 2019, on a two-lane county road just outside of Marfa, Texas, when Luna's headlights picked out a single railroad crossing signal blinking in the middle of nowhere. The arms were down. The red light pulsed. But no train came. She sat there for forty-seven minutes, watching that light, until she noticed the arm wasn't attached to anything—just a piece of wood wedged into a post. And then she saw the man standing beside it, pointing down the tracks. She'd heard stories about that crossing, about a Greyhound that derailed in 1952, but what she saw that night made her rethink every story she'd ever been told about what a signal can mean.

In October of 1998, a back road in the Okefenokee swamp swallowed a man whole—and then gave him back wrong. Luna recounts the story of her cousin Ellis, who took a shortcut home one foggy night and found a stretch of corduroy road that hadn't been there in eighty years. The logs beneath his tires were old-growth cypress, laid by convicts before the first world war. But the road didn't just appear. It remembered. And when Ellis stepped out to check his tire, he learned that some things buried in black water don't stay buried. They wait for footsteps. They wait for weight. And they remember your name. A slow, damp story about roads that should have rotted, and the debt you pay for crossing places the living were never meant to walk.

A routine drive home on a late summer night in 2019. A road Luna has taken a hundred times, winding through Kansas farmland. But this time the sunflowers are different — taller, denser, closing in on both sides. The GPS reroutes her onto a gravel track that isn't on any map. A farmhouse with a single lit window. A woman on the porch who offers tea but never blinks. The field doesn't whisper; it listens. And when Luna finally finds her way back to asphalt, the sunflowers have followed her home — pressed between the pages of her atlas, petals darkening into something that looks like handwriting. A story about borders that move, about getting lost where you've never been lost before, and about the quiet hunger of things that grow in the dark.
