I shouldn't have hitchhiked...

A 19-year-old woman driving home from a gaming convention gets stranded at night, accepts a ride from a stranger, and survives unsettling events at a remote motel.

  • Gas station stop — Clerk issues warnings about a murderous hitchhiker in a prom gown and advises never picking up strangers on Norwood Valley Road
  • Car failure — Vehicle dies after logs block the road and an engine issue strands her with no phone service
  • Ride acceptance — Man named Jason offers a lift to a nearby motel despite her hesitation about the situation
  • Motel check-in — Desk clerk warns against waking other guests and notes the room phone does not work
  • Nighttime disturbances — Coffee from the lobby causes disorientation, leading to knocking sounds, a voice at the door claiming to be staff, and movement from the closet
  • Intruder encounter — A man at the door demands entry while denying he is police, forcing her to stay hidden until morning
  • Escape resolution — She survives the night and later suspects the town hides a cult or drug operation based on the staff's behavior

Why did the motel clerk claim the coffee machine did not exist? How did the protagonist avoid the intruder in her room?
