today's slideshow

i just thought that i'd point out that today's slideshow proudly features one of my personal favorite sets in all it's bleak spendor.

the purgatorial "room twenty four" in it's first incarnation as the suite of rooms burke devlin,it's first condemned occupant,takes at the collinsport inn.

perhaps a moment of silence for all those misfortunate enough to reside there over the years and the sad fate that befell them all.

I thought the same thing, MSC.  I could imagine Rod Serling solemnly intoning:  "Witness a room ... not so much a chamber of horrors, as a void of the soul ... a wide, empty place in life's road where too many wayfarers have washed up for life's last hurrah ... the address, Collinsport, Maine ... a burg that's just one more destination in that unknown region of the crepiscule we call ... The Twilight Zone."

Room 24 doesn't need air conditioning because the room temperature has the perpetual chill ... of the morgue.

Okay, I'll bite....

Besides Burke, who else resided in Room 24?

gothick dear...

your narration on "room twenty four" was indeed chillsworthy!

perhaps room twenty four does not actually exist as a physical location on this earth but is simply a pocket in time and space.

an astral way station where one frets one's final days while the fates contemplate your condemnation.

nelson...

at least three other unfortunate souls had the karmic misfortune of ending up in room twenty four in the present...joe haskell,paul stoddard and olivia correy all called this bleak space home before they met their final destinies.
