The Twilight Zone Theory

"There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call The Twilight Zone."

The area in which I live has an annoying lack of diversity. My friends and I have developed a theory as to why this is.

This area is the Twilight Zone. A barrier surrounds the area and no one with ethnic diversity can get in. It's not possible. That being said, you should know that one of my friends who helped develop this theory is half Arabic. How she gets away with entering is by the fact that her mother's white. The Twilight Zone gets confused when it comes to her ethnicity. It can't quite figure out what's going on. It doesn't know what to do so it leaves her alone. She doesn't have issue until she travels to another location.

Over spring break, she took a trip to Santa Fe to visit family. She got more tan than she normally is (and ended up an orange color). This threw the barrier into an outrage. It wouldn't let her back into the area. A huge snows storm formed and blocked off the interstate. She physically could not get back in. Eventually her orange tan faded enough that the Twilight Zone resumed it's normal state of confusion and she returned home.

There are people who like my friend managed to confuse the barrier long enough to slip in, but it is a rarity. You get quite the attention if you actually manage to do so. I, along with several of my friends, am quite convinced that this is the Twilight Zone.

P.S. Some people must have a special agreement with the barrier because there is never a lack of Asians at the three Asian restaurants in town.
