A helpless man and woman fall into a trap from which there is no escape but death. Inferno, written by Peter Fernandez. Mr. Did you see that sign? Uh, which one, dear? The last one in front of that gas station we just passed.
No, Mrs. What did it say? It suggested that we check our oil, water, and gas because it's over 50 miles to the next station. We've got enough gas for at least twice that, did we?
Well, you know best, dear. Mm-hmm. You tired, children? Yes. And warm. Well, I'm afraid I can't turn the air conditioner any higher. It's a desert out there. Must be 130 in that sunlight. A hundred and thirty, just imagine.
Yep. That's real, that's it, all right. Remember in school, the history book? Mm-hmm.
