wow what a rendition of memories and times that would shake the foundation of the strongest of wills.

Sounds like you have been to Hell and back way too many times friend. No wonder your life feels like an episode of The Twilight Zone. I'm amazed you still with us in mind body and soul Ricky... few would have survived such fatal wounds... strength to you mate!!

I believe I know the lady depicted in your accompanying artwork (well, in all fairness it's actually MK Flood's artwork), Ricky1024. She looks an awful lot like my aunt Wilhelmina Boggins.
"There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. You're traveling through that dimension now, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of the imagination. That's the signpost up ahead - your next stop...the Twilight Zone!"

You have certainly had a life of tragedy. My heart goes out to. I had no idea that you suffered through so many bad experiences. May God be with you. Thanks for sharing.

Ricky,

The arrangement is fine, smoothly readable and understandable. Chosen explanations are made very clear and descriptive. Created impressions through the descriptions are vivid, forceful and making the reader think about it.

I saw no SPAG and no typos. It was very clean.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Love you,

Oatmeal

I think you did a great job expressing all the frustrations and anxiety of dealing with all these problems. the language was very emotional. I think all the repeating phrases and scenes built up the frustration, the feeling that we can't escape from these feelings, these events. estory

A few errors which is not usually you. I choose poetic license. Dreaming and scheming wondering where I am. Why is Rod Sterling using my recliner. Take on day at a time and the hell with the rhyme.
Errors
There/they
Rod...there/here

A very well-written poem about being in a Twilight zone. We all find ourselves there one time or another. It is at its worst when we feel alone with no one around to talk about our fears
