He’ll Be Fine

The reason why Tales From The Gas Station works so well is because the premise is so fucking funny.

Imagine a guy. Just a guy. He is a cashier at the gas station at the edge of town.

That town is fucking weird. There are monsters, hauntings, eldritch gods appearing in dreams, parasites, cultists, serial killers, tree people, politicians that don't stay dead, a ventriloquist puppet that has more influence than anyone else in town.

But this guy just wants to do his damn job. He doesn't care. He is tired. If you're not going to buy anything, he'll kindly ask you to leave the store.

He gets robbed, attacked, beaten up, threatened with death, threatened by old naked men, visited by murder cultists and terrible beings and he just goes right back to work afterwards. (He's nothing if not a good employee.)

At the same time, this guy isn't normal. He doesn't sleep. Ever. He has memory issues and sees hallucinations (so those weird things are probably not real anyway, right). He forgets his friend died on Halloween and isnt surprised when he keeps showing up. Aforementioned murder cultist tries to convince him to join the mission to blow up the planet, then adopts him as his best friend when it doesn't work. He is locked in a neverending battle with the local racoons.

If you want an idea of how to write a story from the perspective of a neurodivergent child, listen to My Name is Lily Madwhip. It goes into her thoughts a lot, and aside from the whole clairvoyant thing, the way Lily thinks and interacts with the world around her is a good example of how being nd changes your experience with the world, especially at that age.

It's also got a good depiction of a reaction to loss and trauma, and probably the only accurate depiction of how a child would react to life in a chosen one type of role. And it's just a very interesting story.

Also the girl who narrates it has the most adorable voice.

The full series is on MrCreepyPasta's YouTube channel.
