The Twilight Zone Disaster

I have always been a huge fan of, "The Twilight Zone."  When CBS announced that they are creating a new twilight zone, naturally I got excited and was excited to watch.  The first few episodes, I admit were OK.  However, I watched an episode titled, "The Wunderkind," which was upsetting to watch.  It was about a man who represents candidates who are trying out to become president.  This particular candidate was an 11 year old boy.  This was a horrid disgrace to American laws and regulations that state in order to become a president, you must be at the age of 35.  I could not get into it as much as I tried.  Another episode titled, "A Traveler," was also horribly done.  I could not get into the characters and just paid more attention to my phone in my hand as opposed to what was on TV.  This was about a small town in Alaska around Christmas time.  Every year, they lock up someone and show this person the true meaning of Christmas.  They stumble upon a man who mysteriously appeared in their jail cell and they have no idea how he gets there.  I think they were trying to copy the episode from Mr. Serling's episode, "To Serve Man,"  which was brilliantly done as well as "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street."  In this episode, people pointed fingers at each other accusing each other of being an alien invader.  If Mr. Serling could see the new Twilight Zone epsiodes, he would probably be turning over in his grave.    This just shows you that you cannot redo a classic.

Driven Destiny

Two cars pass each other by on the open road.  The red car travels from east to west.  The black car travels from west to east.  The lady in the red car just received news that her sister was rushed to the hospital as she was just hit by a drunk driver.  Speeding as fast as she can, that it appears wind has emerged from her presence.  The woman in the black car was sobbing aimlessly on the open road, depressed with no place to go.  She feels alive on the road for as long as it will take her.  Two hours ago, she had an awful dispute with her husband over his obsessive gambling debt.  He slapped her across the face and went to his hidden shelter, a bar.  He poured himself one drink after another until he forgot his mere existence.  He then decided that he did not care about anyone; not even himself.  He went behind the wheel and started to drive home.  He thought to himself that he may either have his way with his wife or give her another beating.  As he thought of the idea of hitting his wife, he laughed maliciously that he did not see a young woman crossing the street.  SMACK!  He smashed right into her body and decided to keep driving.  He made sure to wash off the blood that trickled down his windshield.  No care in the world; no regret.  Two cars pass each other by; not knowing each others story.  However, both women were affected by one man; one monster inhabiting the earth.   One soul that possibly took another.  No one knows how one's life might touch another person.  However, we may be connected by one reason or another.  We may not have any connection at all.  While we are here, we should fulfill each other's life to the best ability that we can.
