About this listen

 In this episode of Tales of the Night, we return to the open road, to those journeys that seem routine but, at certain moments, become unforgettable. A work trip with a father and son, a decision made in the dead of night, and an encounter that leaves lifelong scars, opens a series of stories where stopping—even out of compassion—can change everything. Along the way, strange figures appear, nearly deserted towns unfold, and presences emerge that cannot always be explained rationally. Amidst engines, dark gaps in the road, and the blazing silence of the mountains, faith also takes center stage. Prayers, promises, and the protection of a saint intertwine with fear, latent violence, and that which seems to stalk those who make their living behind the wheel. Not all dangers come head-on, and not all salvation is visible. Three stories united by the night, the open road, and the feeling that there are places—and moments—where we simply shouldn't stop. Turn off the light, come with us… and get ready to get back on the road.
