In this novella, Pete, an eleven-year-old boy, explores a closed gas station and becomes drunk for the first time in his life.

 This novella displays a strong introduction to the collection Bazaar of Bad Dreamds by combining King's more recent writing style with classic Christine-like horror. For me, it was a case of being in the right mood to read this story, because any other day, it might have received only two stars or even one due to its hilarious ridiculousness. But, if you don't mind the ending - and it should have become obvious by now that if there is one thing Stephen King cannot write well at all, then that's endings - this is a strong story about some interesting characters. 
 Even though King stole one of his own ideas, I can forgive him for that, because this entertaining story made up for a funny hour of reading.
