So that was it!
A scene from a show I had watched a little of in the early 90s had always haunted me. I should have known better, but for some reason, I had always thought it was a weird episode of...well, I won't say. It's too weird for it to have been. Anyway, this particular episode's story seemed odd for normal TV writing. I knew it had to be based on something else. Today, I was reading the chapter, "The Lake", and I knew fairly early on where it was going. I already knew the story! So I looked into it--it seemed the show I had watched was actually Ray Bradbury Theater. Well, that makes sense!
I think that the story made my child imagination dig too far and helped twist me into being a morbid person.
All of the stories are great, truly two masters at work.
None of them feel completely finished, though, but that's the only bad thing I can think of for this.
