Dorothy's Idea of the Day: Over a breakfast of oatmeal, cooked in the microwave in the one microwave bowl I had brought from home, my brother and I traded recollections of our favorite Twilight Zone stories from our childhood. Then we started applying a Rod Serling perspective to other writing we have done.
"What if normal sized people were the oddity and huge people were the normal?" Oops, we thought that Rod had thought of that or something pretty close to it. Or at least an animated movie with that premise already had been made.
"What if we lived in a parallel universe where there were no rivers?" There would not be much diversity in life forms. I don't remember a Twilight Zone episode like that.
"What if we approached all of our dilemmas as if Rod Serling were writing the script?" One script you would never think to write is where someone as amazingly smart as Rod Serling would die from tobacco-induced lung cancer.
