If my life were a Twilight Zone episode …



“There is a Facebook dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as cyberspace and as time-wasting as infinity. It is the middle ground between momentous and mundane, between profundity and shallowness, and it lies between the pit of man’s boredom and the summit of his humor. This is the dimension of utter nonsense. It is an area which we call … the Twilight Zone.”



Opening narration

“Enter Mr. Jeffrey Sparks, a veteran tutor with an odd predilection for ancient languages. 35-year-old Mr. Jeffrey Sparks, who sits at his computer writing parodies of classic TV shows (like the one you are reading now). But in a moment, Mr. Jeffrey Sparks will be releasing a most ridiculous blog post, meant to amuse the fans of a certain TV show. In so doing, Mr. Jeffrey Sparks is about to enter … the Twilight Zone.”


Rod Serling

Closing narration

“Portrait of a man who journeys through space and time, to explore the lost worlds of the past. He doesn’t have a time-machine, just a remarkable device called a ‘book,’ which can transport him instantly to distant times and distant places. His name is Jeffrey Sparks, and he is of that odd breed of amateur historians, found inside and outside the Twilight Zone.”
