Coin Snack Joyful 24
An unstaffed, 24-hour vending machine corner standing quietly along a national highway. It once served late-night drivers as a "coin snack" rest stop, offering light meals, drinks and even sundries, but today many of the machines have stopped and only a few are still running. Inside, with no one around and only the fluorescent lights shining in neat rows, the room is bathed in an unreal, even brightness, and a late-night visit brings a strange, floating feeling reminiscent of the Backrooms.
