(Before you guys jump on me in the comments, I wrote these for fun. I think all Twilight Zone episodes should have opening and closing narrations.) Opening narration: "As you've probably guessed, we're not in the present day anymore. And Dickey Jordan is no ordinary 12-year-old. In a moment, we'll see just how special he really is. Time: The future. Place: The Twilight Zone." Closing narration: "A moment of silence for Richard 'Dickey' Jordan Jr. Like all children, young Dickey believed he had a bright future, full of possibilities and adventures. Sadly, that dream was cut short by a small-minded government. The hard lesson: Differences aren't always tolerated, much less celebrated. Neither inside - nor outside - of the Twilight Zone."
