I was watching TV the other day and I came across the preview for The Mist by Stephen King. I am a big fan of Stephen King and grew up with a lot of his books and movies. The guy knows terror thats for sure. This movie is no different. It stars Thomas Jane (from the new “Punisher” movie) and is about an other worldly mist that falls on a small town. The residents are trapped in a grocery store while they determine what is to be done. In the mean time the town starts to divide and one group is of the belief that the mist is nothing while the other group is on the other extreme and believes that the mist is a sign from God and wants to sacrifice a child to appease the lord. Thomas Jane’s character and his family seem to be caught in the middle of it all and have the only rational minds in the whole town! Things soon escalate when the creatures that are in the mist try to get into the store so that they can eat the tasty morsels that reside with in it, kind of like getting to the cream filling in a Twinkie, lol! It kind of reminded me of this time that I was moving back from Tennessee! I was driving up this tall hill in Arkansas and it was raining, the higher I got the harder it seemed to rain, like something was telling me that I shouldn’t be trying to climb this hill. I was carrying a trailer on the back of my car and the weight of that combined with the slick road was making me slide backwards. I decided to pull over till the storm passed. While I was sitting there I noticed that there were no cars on the road. I thought to myself “How can this be, this is a major highway, cars should be just rolling by”. However, this was not the case, for about 30 min I sat their and waited for the rain to stop. Finally I noticed it letting up a little and decided to head out. I started up the hill but still no cars. It wasn’t till I reached the other side of the hill that I noticed all the oncoming cars sitting on the side of the road. because of the windows being fogged over I didn’t notice the cars behind me till I vented the car and got the windows clear. Seems everyone else had the same idea. But in that thirty minute stretch my mind was playing with some strange thoughts of other worldly dimensions and transportation to parallel universes. It was freaky but it reminds me of this movie. I am curious to see if this is all just a figment of there imaginations or if this is something that is truly going to destroy us all.
