The people live in fear of Anthony, constantly telling him how everything he does is "good", since he banishes anyone thinking unhappy thoughts forever to a place that he calls "the cornfield." Having never experienced any form of discipline, he does not understand that his actions are harmful. Everybody is under his rule, even his parents. He creates grotesque creatures, such as three-headed gophers, which he then kills. He has blocked television signals and caused cars not to work. The people must grow their own food, and supplies of common household items, such as bar soap, have been dwindling. He has isolated his town of Peaksville, Ohio, from the rest of the universe. Six-year-old Anthony Fremont has godlike mental powers, including mind-reading. But when those eyes look at you, you'd better start thinking happy thoughts, because the mind behind them is absolutely in charge.

And this is Aunt Amy, who probably had more control over the monster in the beginning than almost anyone. It's in his farmhouse that the monster resides. Now I'd like to introduce you to some of the people in Peaksville, Ohio. Just by using his mind, he took away the automobiles, the electricity, the machines-because they displeased him-and he moved an entire community back into the dark ages-just by using his mind. They were, on the other hand, sure of one thing: the cause. Its inhabitants were never sure whether the world was destroyed and only Peaksville left untouched or whether the village had somehow been taken away.

On a given morning not too long ago, the rest of the world disappeared and Peaksville was left all alone. This, as you may recognize, is a map of the United States, and there's a little town there called Peaksville. Tonight's story on The Twilight Zone is somewhat unique and calls for a different kind of introduction.
