Route Styx

Episode 6. What a terrible thing, to get everything you were hoping for.

Welcome home.

Episode 5. When hell breaking loose is an almost daily occurrence, “trust” only goes so far. And only now does Denice realize how much she’s lost on the Road. But what if putting her trust elsewhere means leaving the safety of the Freight & Fuel for the insanity beyond the station? Surely any risk would be worth the chance of getting home. Right?

Trusting any stranger. Taking any lead. Wandering into any hall.

4. Ghost Riders in the Sky

Episode 4. Here’s the problem with running a ghost hunting show. It’s not the drama that comes with making a production with your family. It’s not the middle-of-nowhere recording locations like Charon’s Freight & Fuel (a gas station, of all things). It’s not even trying to find enough supernatural content to make a full, worthwhile episode.

It’s when the “content” already knows your name.

3. The Devil Went Down to Georgia

Episode 3. For violinist Jaime, a quick stop at Charon’s Freight & Fuel is just an opportunity to grab some road trip snacks with friends. He doesn’t see it as the definitive move in a years’ long, supernatural game. He doesn’t understand the bizarre stranger that (maybe?) knows what’s really going on.

He doesn’t know the true stakes at play in a wager with a hellish figure who’s willing to make a deal.

But he will.

(TW: discussion of mental health and indirect reference to suicide)

2. Like a Rolling Stone

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 12:00:00 -0400

Episode 2. Denice is alive. And doesn’t have much else going for her. With no sign of her parents or the mysterious Orly, Denice is determined to escape the Road and get back home by any means necessary. But struggling to pull away from Route Styx only pulls her deeper into the insanity of this strange in-between world... drawing both unwanted and dangerous attention to her presence at Charon’s Freight & Fuel.

1. Wayfaring Stranger

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 12:00:00 -0400

Episode 1. Denice is ready for the freedom (and simply, space) college can grant from her parents. Of course, a brief stop and refuel at a strange gas station won’t change that. Surely the musical hitchhiker that Denice meets outside the station is all she appears to be. There’s nothing that could change all that’s lined up next in her life.

There’s nothing that can change what’s always happened and what will happen again.
