Last Stop Before Slumgullion Pass

Nolan Holloway didn't ask for a legacy-he inherited it.

A year after his father's mysterious death on Slumgullion Pass, Nolan Holloway finds himself running the small, weathered gas station his father once called a "retirement project." The summer brought overwhelming tourists and fleeting success, but now the fall is quiet, the winter is coming, and the station sits on the brink.

The offer from corporate giant Lucky's Quick Stop could be Nolan's way out-an easy escape from a failing business and the haunting questions surrounding his father's final days. But selling means more than handing over the keys; it means giving up on the last piece of his father's dream.

In a town divided between locals struggling to survive and second-home owners who leave with the snow, Nolan must fight to keep the station alive. As he wrestles with guilt, exhaustion, and the ghosts of his past, he faces an impossible choice: give up or rebuild.

With every creak of the old pumps and whisper of the mountain wind, Last Stop Before Slumgullion Pass explores the weight of family, the pull of legacy, and one man's determination to hold on when everything around him says to let go.
