Motor Fuel Carrier #5

I see this kind of scene a lot in the midwest.



As I imagine it, it basically goes something like this: One day somebody parks a car or truck they own on a patch of land they own. There's a lot of land here and a culture rooted in maintaining and repairing old things after they've become old and out of fashion so nobody minds another old car or truck sitting in a field. They assume the owner's got a use for it or plans to restore it in the future and its not bothering anybody. An old truck like this just sits here and day by day the owner neglects to do anything with it. Years pass and the grass grows thick and tall around it and the other things that happened to be left nearby. Years later the entire area gets forgotten and nature starts to reclaim the things and the land. It's the old story of "dust to dust."
