Episode 0036 "A Dream of Death"
Original Story by Sam Dann, Directed by Himan Brown, Host: E.G. Marshall
A college professor becomes convinced that he is reincarnated. He is worried that he will be punished for breaking a 200 year old engagement.
They say, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. And perhaps it's true. But the question is, how long? How long can that fury endure? How long can the passions burn? Well, Miss Charity Youngblood was left waiting at the church some 200 years ago, and she still isn't over it.
Sometimes a few notes of an incomplete melody may steal through your head. It isn't like any tune you know, and yet you've heard it before. For no reason a name, a noise, an aroma may evoke a dim and distant memory. A memory of a place you cannot clearly remember, but it's a place you cannot completely forget. A great poet said, life is a dream, and even dreams are dreams. Perhaps. But sooner or later, there must be an awakening for every dream and for Rexford Patterson, there was a rudest awakening of all.
