Its been quite a while since I've written any fanfiction, so pardon me if my writing seems rusty. Over break there was a twilight zone marathon (the original ones) and I couldn't help but come up with a fan piece for it. (Plus I'm supposed to write some fanfiction as part of my honors seminar researching fan fiction) This'll be a multi-chapter story.
Any connection between my characters and real world characters is purely coincidence.
Introduction:
Enter this man, a man who unlike many others would never dare speak out against his neighbor, a man who loves peace and harmony, a man who sees all but hears none, enter Jerimah Jones.
You see, Jerimah is not what most would call a kind man, a creepy recluse maybe, but not a kind neighborly man. In fact he's a common subject at the town hall meetings he never attends. Parents worry that he might harm their children, women fear he stalks them at night, men wonder what secret a rumored good looking man like Jerimah must be hiding in that big house he never leaves and the children create elaborate fantasies where he's both friend and foe, good and evil. But he hears of none of it, for you see…. Jerimah Jones is deaf - fighting for his country ages ago he lost his hearing and now lives to watch his neighbors, without letting them do the same. No one in this small town has gotten a good glimpse of him, but they will today.
For today is not like every other day- today Jerimah Jones will lead his small sleepy town right into the heart of the Twilight Zone.
