I enjoyed this the first time I heard it, and I enjoyed it more just now upon finishing it.

- Good comparisons to \"The twilight zone\". (I\'m reminded of the aforementioned \"A stop at Willoughby\" (train travel to a strange place) and, I think, an episode named \"A hundred yards over the rim\" with Cliff Robertson playing a country man whose child is very sick, and while in search of a doctor he goes over a hill to (as I recall) stumble into a future town, and then somehow finds his way back home with medicine that cures his child.)

However, this one had a very nice ending that, in an RMT sort of way, kindly tied everything together. It\'s nice to hear stories like this.

- John Beal was cool.

- I enjoyed the music in this. I truly love the music at the beginning of the first act, when Beal\'s character is describing the mysterious stone. It has a wonderful both slightly sinister yet dreamy (in a reminiscing sort of way) quality. This same interlude was well used in a previous RMT: \"The secret chamber.\"

- A lesser used but very menacing piano, marimba, piccolo and bassoon interlude is at the very end of the first act, when the man tells Beal\'s character they\'re relying on him to get them out of their situation (while Beal has no idea how he got into it). This was used, as I recall, at the end of an act of another episode, \"The house on Chimney Pot Lane\".

- \"The vampire plant\", used quite frequently the strange sound (I don\'t exactly know how they made this sound effect, though it appears to use an echo chamber) that they used when Beal\'s character finally goes into the mist. (It\'s not the humming noise...I\'m not sure if I\'d ever heard that before on the RMT, but it\'s playing right underneath it.)

- I love it when, during the aforementioned \"into the mist\" scene, Beal describes it as \"like a disco\". (Would have been funny if he\'d have encountered John Travolta in a white leisure suit on the other side of that stone. &nbsp;Thanks for suggesting this...I\'m glad to listen to it again.<br>
