1- There was a girl driving along I-70 on the way back to Colorado after visiting her relatives in Illinois . It was about 1:00am and it started to rain when she realized her car was almost out of petrol . She saw a sign for a petrol station about 3 miles ahead , so she breathed a sigh of relief . But when

she got there , she noticed that it was one of those old petrol stations . She was scared to stop , but she really had no other choice . As she pulled in , an old man with a disfigured face rushed to her through the rain . He put the pump in the tank and asked for her credit card . She handed it to him over the top of the window and he ran back inside .

2- After a few seconds , he came back and told the girl she had to come inside because her credit card had been denied . Reluctantly , she walked inside . The old man grabbed her , but she hit him with a can of oil . Then , she ran back to her car and left the old

man screaming and waving his arms at her . After driving for a few miles , she turned on the radio and started to relax . As she looked in the rear view mirror , she saw someone popped up at the back seat holding an axe above her head .
