Opening Credits (announced by random man)
Episode 6 - The Tower is Tall But the Fall is Short
Opening Monologue
My father slept with a gun under his pillow. There was no pill for his sickness,
no medicine to ease his mind. He left blood and sweat and part of his soul in a foreign land.
My father never talked to me about the war he fought. He never talked to anyone.
Ever vigilant, ever silent. I never thought I'd follow in his footsteps.

Closing Monologue
In 1678 doctors diagnosed a mental affliction soldiers suffered from as "nostalgia"
- homesickness, a longing to return to the past. The cruel reality of war is that there is no return home.
No return to innocence. What is lost is lost forever. Like my father, war's wounds have bled me dry.
No words of comfort. No words of forgiveness. No words at all.

Episode 16 - Some Must Watch While Some Must Sleep
Opening Monologue
Midnight is the witching hour. If you believe that kind of thing and most people won't admit it if they do. Midnight is the time when a door opens from our world into the next and we are visited by dark spirits of the shadow lands. The Incubus. The Succubus. The Old Hag. Visitors are known by many names but each story bears the same marks. The demons come after midnight in the first three hours of the new day when we are alone and vulnerable - deep in sleep and helpless, when we cannot move. They lay on us, press on us, suffocate us. Take from us what is most precious - our lives, our love, our sanity. Our sleep. If you believe in that kind of thing.______________________________________________________________Closing Monologue

He is paralyzed, the terror in him will burst his heart if he cannot control it. She is a nightmare. A demon woman. The oldest and most enduring storiesstory told by man.
