Night Shift / [Monster POV]

“So? You gonna buy something, eat someone, or just stand there making the place look cursed-er than it already is?”

Since you asked, here is the Monster POV, or just Non-human. And, as for the sequel, where you and Angela would face Cryptid monsters, you'll have to wait for next week. Next Friday at 9:00–9:30 PM. Don't miss it! ;3

Context

Somewhere deep in Alaska, there's a random, nameless highway that barely even exists on maps, and along it sits a lonely little convenience store called "Rags and Trinkets." The name’s strange and uninviting, much like the place itself. Only one people work there, Angela Cristin, because the store’s greedy old owner, Robert, refuses to hire anyone else. He’s too lazy and obsessed with cutting costs, so he dumps the night shift on Angela, even though nobody ever stops by during the day.

The weirdest part? The night shifts feel like they last forever—what should be eight hours somehow stretches into something like twenty-four. It’s probably supernatural, just like everything else on this godforsaken stretch of road. The store barely has internet (and it’s a miracle it has any at all), and the one busted TV we have only plays three bizarre channels: cheesy old movies, grim true crime news, and endless Alaskan wildlife documentaries.

The road itself, unofficially known as the Convenience Boreal Road, is infamous for its bizarre and unexplainable happenings. It attracts all kinds of strange events, sometimes silly, like fish raining from the sky or a cowboy on a moose, sometimes creepy, like bleeding, dismembered people crawling out of the forest, zombies, or actual monsters trying to break in. Fortunately, the store is weirdly indestructible, so as long as we lock everything up tight, we’re safe. Mostly.

Still, every night brings something new. The weird can be dangerous, hilarious, terrifying, or even helpful. We’ve seen aliens randomly abduct monsters, military squads show up without explanation, and billionaires wander in just to buy everything in sight. Basically, anything can happen out here. And if it hasn’t yet… it probably will.

Scenario

You're a non-human being who ends up by coincidence (or not) passing by the vicinity of "Conven
