Fantastic, Sean. I love the contrast here—starting with the man on top of his mountain and then taking it all the way back to his humble beginning, when both he and the creative process were most pure and innocent, creating for the sheer joy of it. For himself.
Magnificent! This is an absolutely beautiful story, a jewel-like vignette, and I WATCHED it in pearly black and white, just like I used to watch The Twilight Zone. A brilliant homage.
Really incredible stuff, Sean. Your love for the craft, the genre, the source and inspiration, all of it is palpable. You are an absolute force here on Substack and I hope you know how much we all appreciate you
This was perfect Sean. Felt exactly like watching an episode, your love for the show comes through here so clearly. This has everything that I’ve come to love about The Twilight Zone.
I can hear the baritone Rod Serling narration! I loved watching the Twilight Zone growing up. this reminds me of "The Last Night of a Jockey," in some ways, as it deals with the separation of fame/prestige and a love for the craft. this is an incredibly well-done tribute. Bravo!

That ending paragraph, though. Poetry. Brilliant.
Thank you, Shane! That means a lot to me! So happy to have done this alongside you.
This was so awesome. So vivid and powerful 👏bravo 👏

Aww Hannah thank you thank you! ❤️
Woah, featured on Rod’s website? That is cool.
An insightful take on what it means to be a creator. And so cool that the event is featured on rodserling.com!
Thank you, Garen! ❤️
This was great, well done. It’s been forever since I’ve seen the show, but this brought the feeling back.
Thank you! That is such a wonderful compliment. ❤️
I have recently begun an obsession with orchestral conductors. This scratched that itch better than I could have hoped. Bravo!!
Ohh perfect! I'm so happy you enjoyed it! ❤️
This is a beautiful piece Sean. Like the best Twilight Zone episodes, it leaves us haunted by an unforgettable character.
Thank you, EJ! Some of my favorite episodes were stripped down and mostly done in monologue. ❤️

You are the fuckin coolest, James. ❤️ Thank you!
Hella rad! The one man play idea would be magical
That would be sick. You want the part? haha
Just an astonishing moment to witness as the lens of the story constantly narrows, further and further inward, taking away my breath. Well done!
Thanks, homie. Really stoked to be doing this alongside all of you. Dream stuff.
bravo, Sean! As a musician I felt this in my gut and it captured the empathy you mentioned so well. I could see this as a great short film.
Thanks, Will! I def thought of you while writing. ❤️
I loved this! A great Twilight Zone episode and I could see it adapted as a short one-man play for stage. Masterfully done, maestro ;)
Thank you! I envisioned it as a one-man play! ❤️
