While searching for other strategies to work on in Image Grammar, I came across one that I could not pass up. The strategy asked me to create me own imitations of Rod Serling's Twilight Zone introduction. It was the perfect opportunity for me to work on parallel structures and imitation. I took the template they gave me of the original version and added my own creative twists to create a couple of unique zones.

Strategy 3: Travel into the Twilight Zone

The Metal Zone

    There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as loud as thunder and as brutal as Hell. It is the Gothic bridge between rock and roll, between Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, and it lies between the cry of guitar riffs, and the noise of the soul. This is the dimension of sound. It is an area which we call... THE METAL ZONE.

The Batman Zone

    There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as dark as night and as twisted as Arkham. It is the thin line between vengeance and justice, between right and wrong, and it lies between the boarders of your fears, and the sight of his mask. This is the dimension of pain. It is an area which we call... THE BATMAN ZONE.
