I was cooking a large leg of lamb. I might have done so in real life once in the 60's, but certainly not since. We were in the backyard of the old house, a number of people around. I cooked it outside. It was huge, juicy-looking and easy to slice. I looked for a serving platter and put the slices on the platter, but they seemed to disappear.
The house a few doors down had been sold, and when the owners moved they had dismantled and taken with them an outdoor utility shed. Where the shed had been was a deep cavity, muddy and ominous looking. A little boy was peering into the deep hole. He said he'd not go nearer because he knew the danger.
By the time I got into the house where the lamb had been taken, all the people had eaten and were off on their own pursuits. There was still a lot of meat left on the leg of lamb.
