The diner stands alone at the edge of the highway, its neon sign buzzing weakly against the dark, like it’s fighting to stay awake. Beyond it, cornfields stretch in every direction, flat and endless, swallowing sound and light alike. At night, the fields don’t feel empty—they feel occupied, as if something unseen is resting just beyond the reach of the headlights.

A semi-truck sits parked nearby, its metal frame ticking as it cools, the quiet reminders of a long drive still echoing in the air. Inside the diner, the light is warm but thin, barely pushing back the shadows gathered in the corners. The booths are worn, the tables uneven, and the smell of coffee hangs heavy, comforting at first, then strangely stale.

In the back, a single booth remains occupied. A man sits there alone, wrapped in a trench coat despite the season, a newspaper spread open but never turned. His sunglasses never come off, reflecting the room instead of revealing anything human beneath them. He doesn’t eat. He doesn’t fidget. He simply waits, as though time moves differently for him than it does for everyone else.

Outside, the corn shifts with the breeze, stalks brushing against one another in a slow, whispering rhythm. The sound slips through cracks in the walls, mixing with the hum of fluorescent lights. It’s easy to imagine the fields inching closer when no one is looking, tightening their circle around the building, pressing against the thin line between safe places and forgotten ones.

The longer you stay, the more the diner feels disconnected from the rest of the world. The road grows quiet. The stars seem dimmer. Even the clock on the wall feels unreliable, its ticking slightly out of step. Conversations drop to murmurs, and every glance toward the windows carries a flicker of unease, as if someone might be standing just outside, waiting for an invitation that will never come.

This is the kind of place that survives on routine—late-night meals, familiar faces, the comfort of returning to something that feels known. But beneath that comfort is the sense that something old is buried nearby, something tied to the land itself. The cornfields remember every season, every harvest, every offering made to keep the soil generous and the town alive.

And when the lights finally go out and the road carries you away, the diner doesn’t fade like it should. It lingers in the back of your mind, a quiet warning. Some stops aren’t just places to rest. Some are markers on the road, reminders that not everything you pass is meant to be understood—and not everything you leave behind truly lets you go.
