They are at a fancy party, and the group is all dressed up, as well as grown up. Only Roland realizes that this isn't the correct reality. He remembers running from the Not-Men. He tells the others this, but they don't really care: Jamie and Aileen are kissing, and Cuthbert is eating a chicken leg. In the background, Roland sees a cowboy leaning up against a tree. As Roland approaches, the cowboy reveals that he is Roland's father. Steven tells Roland to wake up and escape death. Roland blows the Horn of Eld to wake himself up. When Roland awakens, he tries to blow the Horn to wake the others. They are being fed on by ghouls. The Horn does not succeed to wake the others, but it summons fallen warriors, led by Arthur Eld. The warriors chase off the ghouls, and Arthur blows the Horn once more. This wakes Roland up in his current reality: heading towards the Desatoya Mountains, where the events of The Little Sisters of Eluria are destined to take place. Roland finds the Stone Circle he was laying near by, which has a sacraficed hobo on it's altar. Roland lays his hat on the hob's head, a sign of respect, and continues on to persue The Man in Black.
