A red field under a dark blue cloudy sky. Planted in the middle of the field is a tall sign with the faded letters on it that spell "diner". Attached to the signpost is a street lamp, casting a lurid yellow light. To the left of the sign post is a rickety telephone pole, propped up by another, smaller pole. A tangle of wires coming from the telephone pole connect to the sign. Sitting on top of the sign are a row of birds. More birds are in the sky.

A chunk of rock like a large boulder, flat on top, hanging in space. The top flat area is grassy, as though this is a chunk of the ground that got blown into space for some reason. Planted in the ground is a large billboard-like sign with the word "diner" in all-caps and an arrow pointing right.

A tall, oddly, thin building stands in the middle of nowhere. It's a dark, starless night. The building is about three stories high, but only as wide as two ordinary-sized doorways; imagine a three-story walk-in closet with no windows, except one at the very top on the left side of the building. That window is boarded shut, but something is clearly going on inside, judging by the eerie green light filtering between the boards. The door is closed, but the same light is trickling underneath it. The door has some papers stuck to it. The lower left side of the building seems to have a chunk taken out of it. The most distinctive feature of the building, though, is the giant vertical sign bolted onto the right side. The sign is about 2/3 as tall as the building itself and has the word "Diner" on it in glowing, radioactive-green lettering; the same color as the light from inside the building. The light from the sign illuminates the ground under it. Perched on top of the sign is a large bird that looks like a raven. In the background is the blurry suggestion of a treeline.

A broad, desert expanse; the heat of a desert afternoon. Mountains shimmer in the distance. You're standing on a grassy hilltop overlooking a plain. Placed on the hill, for no apparent reason, is a tall, weathered sign with the word "diner" on it. A bird perches on the sign; a vulture circles overhead.

A tall sign—the size of a two-story building—out in the middle of nowhere with "diner" written on it. Some of the letters are dim, neon bulbs; others aren't lit at all. Also affixed to the sign pole is a street light, casting a dull light. The atmosphere seems to be a wet, foggy day. A figure stands under the street light, perhaps waiting for someone. Another figure approaches through the fog. Off in the distance is a dim, barely visible tree line, suggesting a forest.

A tall horned devil-figure, seen from the back. The figure is wearing a hat and a large, furry coat. Smoke is coming from the hat. In the back of the figure is a red window in which sits a person with a coffee mug. Also on the back of the figure are crimson neon signs that say "Diner open 24"
