[edit] Summary
Teaser
A US Marine sits at breakfast with his wife, looking irritated and frightened. When his wife asks what's wrong, he says nothing, but when he looks down at his cereal he finds his bowl is full of maggots. He runs from the house to his car and speeds away. In the car, he looks into his rear view mirror and sees his face is decomposing. In his fear, he doesn't see a tree in his path.
[edit] Background Information
- Near the end of the episode, when Colonel Wharton is in the cemetery he speaks an incantation in Creole (Haitian dialect of French). There are no subtitles, but it can be translated as, "To the Saints, To the moon, To the stars".
- The symbol painted on the tree and on the conch shell is a "vévé," a sign belonging to the spirits honored in voodoo.
