The Jar

It was one of those things they keep in a jar in the tent of a sideshow on the outskirts of a little, drowsy town. One of those pale things drifting in alcohol plasma, forever dreaming and circling, with its peeled, dead eyes staring at you and never seeing you.

So I guess The Twilight Zone stole that episode called The Jar from Bradbury. That episode is freaky.

I dunno. Wish I saw that.

I'd highly HIGHLY recommend The October Country by Bradbury. I've re-read the stories in that book so many dang times...

I will check out the book for sure!

Oh, and it wasn't The Twilight Zone. It was Hitchcock:

Good stuff. Have no idea if the two are very similar or not though...
