Today's story is Feeling Lucky by Dark Horse Tales. Hello, my name is Justin. I'm 18, and I live in a small farm town, and I also work at a gas station full time. It's one of them old ones, with the old-school neon gas station signs from the 60s. But we do have some knick-knacks and an arcade. We also have some machines that are like mini-casinos. You know, the kind that you see had gas stations if you walk to the back and see what look like the regulars playing on them. There's about four of these casino stations within the gas station.

But it's legal because the stuff you win is like gas cards. The gas station also sponsors this old school car. A cherry red 1965 Mustang, but no one has won it. It just sits there, looking lonely and alluring, waiting for someone to come and take it. My friends tell me that the casino machines have been there for about 20 years or so. That's a long time, right? Anyway, I've been noticing that some of the machines have been going haywire, and customers have been complaining.

They've been complaining for a few times now, but I've been under strict orders by my manager, Jimmy, not to order a new one yet. I wonder why. It may be because of this weird virus that came from overseas that's been slowing down business as people stay in their houses, but customers keep complaining every day. Now, I've got to do something about it. They'll know me by name for Christ's sake.

I know. I have to do something. So, finally, I asked Jimmy again, and after a few months, He says yes. Woo! I think. Finally, I'm going to have these gas station casino junkies off of my back. I rush to order one, but I know that my hands are tied. I have a small budget to work with,

and so I should be very careful about what I choose. I don't want to pay full price for a casino machine, or rather I can't pay full price for a casino machine. That means I can't go to our main distributor, Bunko, gaming, and I've got to look elsewhere. I turn to Google and type in affordable gas station casino machines. My only criterion is to find one that's cheap, but still good. After a few hours of looking online, I find a used one that was originally 10 grand, but

thankfully, I was in luck. They had a sale, where they knocked off $5,000. So I said, well, must be a good one. and place the order. The vendor, Wayne Lung's used recreational games, says it will take a month to arrive. The checkout process goes fine, and I select the standard option for 10 to 15 days shipping time,

but to my surprise, a few days go by, and it's here. It got here quicker than I thought it would. Of course, I'm like, well, that's weird. What with the whole overseas virus slowing down non-essential delivery and all, but sometimes the universe surprises you. I guess. Luck was on my side.

A few minutes later, I'm cracking the container with a crowbar and replacing the old machine with the one that has just arrived. There were some instructions in the box, but I was so excited to plug it in, I forgot to read them. Anyway, it boots up and says, Welcome to Express Change Stang with some black horses with red eyes. That's a little strange because it's usually brown horses with regular eyes, but I ignore it.

I think maybe it's just a different brand. Anyway, I go ahead and put in a bill or two to see what this one's all about. So I pull the lever and the machine starts doing its thing. It lands on the Grim Reaper. And then a piece of paper falls out. The machine makes some weird, eerie noise that sends chills down my spine. It then says, Hello, Justin.

You only have seven days to complete the tasks written on that paper. The casino machine tells me to start by killing Jimmy. I say, what? Take out my boss. That's just crazy. Why would a machine tell me to take out Jimmy? So I sit there and ponder on this for a day while still thinking that I still only have six days to kill Jim. me. Thankfully, my shift is over and I go home. When I close my eyes to go to sleep, all I can

see is that Grim Reaper symbol. It looks like it's mocking me. I toss and turn in bed all night, and I barely get any rest. Huh. No rest for the wicked, I guess. The next day, I try to go to work and act normal, still knowing that I've got a few days to do what the machine had told me. A few hours passed by, and I think about telling the other gas station attendance what happened to me the other day. Hey, Jerry, you know about the casino machine that we just got the other day, right? Did you try it at all? Nah, Jerry replies. I've been too busy working.

I don't even know we ordered a new one. I've been feeling kind of weird, though. I've got this headache and I've been dealing with ever since I got here. I don't know. Maybe I just need an aspirin. or something. But I did notice that people have been sitting there for a while and waiting to try it out. Like, I saw Jimmy playing a game on there for around seven hours.

He's been there my whole shift. He was just sitting there in that chair, just pulling the lever and laughing to himself. I think it's pretty weird. Anyways, I was wondering, could you take my night shift tonight? Because I got to go to this show that's coming to town that's called Under the Foggy Hat. it's my favorite country band, and I'm taking, Jessica. It should be a great time. Please, Justin.

Okay, yeah. I guess I'll work the night shift for you tonight. Ah, thanks, Justin. I owe you one. Yeah, Jerry, don't mention it, okay? Jerry leaves, and I take over for the rest of the shift. Well, for the first few hours, things went all right. But then, my boss shows up and did not even notice that Jerry was

not working the shift. What's even worse? He didn't look too good. Jimmy looked skinny all of a sudden. Now, I know that you don't just lose 160 pounds over the course of seven hours. The virus didn't make people lose weight over a day either. Plus, he didn't have any other symptoms, like fever, runny nose, coughs, or anything like that. I mean, I had seen him.

That same morning, and he was at least 300 pounds, and he's definitely not a skinny man. What the heck is going on here? Did it have anything to do with that note from the machine? I wonder what happened to him. But then, then I see him rush to the new machine like a madman. He sits down, pulls the lever, and starts mumbling to himself and laughing as he does so. Then he pulls the lever and yells, Come on, come on, please, please, please.

while rubbing the side of the machine. He rubs it for good luck, and he pulls the lever again. Oh, yes, yes, yes, he yells. That's what I want, you know it! Now, it's about two in the morning, and not a lot is going on other than the boss on the machine in the corner. I hear the back door open, and I go check it out.

And I see Jerry's car. I think to myself, why is Jerry's car here? I thought that the show he was going to was going to be an all-nighter. Then, Jerry looks at me. He's got this crazy look in his eyes with something behind his back. I yell out, hey, Jerry, what's up, man? But it has no effect on him. I yell a little more sternly.

Hey, Jerry. But then, he starts coming at me with the hammer. All I've got to defend myself is a thing. a tape gun and a box cutter. I dodged to the left and to the right, put a couple of cuts across Jerry's hand and arm. Still nothing. And then I start throwing food at him,

and yet Jimmy is still sitting at this machine and laughing to himself, so Jerry is still coming at me. I get a good cut on Jerry, and he snaps back, and then I get the shotgun. I aim it right at Jimmy, my boss, and I pull the trigger. Jimmy is now writhing. on the floor. But Jerry,

Jerry is out of his trance, and he's like, what the heck, man? Why did you shoot Jimmy? Then, I aimed the gun at Jerry. He says, Hey man, come on, please, please,

don't shoot me. I said, with tears in my eyes, I have to. The machine told me to do so, or else. So that was one. Once again,
