A face that could stop a clock

 

In my dream, I sat on a piano bench with my father.  The television was on behind us and the Twilight Zone theme played. Da da da da. Da da da da. I smoked a cigarette and my dad got excited.  He thought it was a joint. I looked at him, frowned and said “sorry.” 

I wake up and can’t sleep at one in the morning and turn on the Twilight Zone. A Kind of Stopwatch is the episode. A man invents a watch that can stop time and freeze things and people. He goes to a bar and steals money.  The actor Herbie Faye is the bartender. He looks just like his name. Throughout his career, his forte was playing cooks, waiters and barkeeps. You’ve seen him. He was always perfect. Dreamy.
