Midnight Shift

LESNÍ 24 is a small filling station deep in the woods, open all night. You work the night shift. Midnight to six. Alone.

Most of the people who pull in are just tired drivers who want fuel, coffee and cigarettes. But some of them only *look* like people. The locals call them **Visitors**.

Every customer has to come to your counter. Check their ID, look at their face and hands, ask where they're from and which pump they used, then decide: **serve them, send them away, or reach for the shotgun.**

NOT EVERY CUSTOMER IS HUMAN

- **Documents:** is the ID still valid? Does the date of birth even exist? Does the photo match?

- **Body:** count the fingers. Look into their eyes. Is that smile a little too wide?

- **Speech:** does their name match the ID? Is there actually a car at pump 3? Look out of the window.

- **Population register:** search the computer. The dead don't go shopping.

- **New tools every night:** thermometer, security camera (Visitors don't show up on it), UV lamp.

Serve a human and you earn money. Shoot a human and your shift is over, for good. Serve a Visitor and it will come back into the store. It only moves when you're not looking at it.

On top of that you still have to make the night's takings target. The phone rings, the radio talks about strange lights over the forest, and sometimes the power goes out and you have to walk to the breaker in the back with nothing but a flashlight.
