Hell's Half Acre

Last night I dreamt that my car stopped while driving along an old highway.  I knew there was a gas station not too far away so I got out and started walking.  I found myself way off the road and walking through the desert lava plain of Hell's Half Acre in Idaho.  I couldn't see the road and was all alone.  I remembered seeing some friends of mine back at the rest stop on the highway, so I started calling loudly for them as I walked, hoping they'd find me.

Finally, I was in the gas station.  At the counter, I purchased a pack of Camel cigarettes and a bottle of beer, then spent some time talking with a tall young man about my adventure.
