The scream is cut off when a meaty hand covers my mouth. No longer wearing shades‚ I can now see Paul’s face smiling a devil’s grin at me. One of his eye sockets is a horrible‚ gaping hole.

In episode six of Wayward Pines‚ David Pilcher is also known as Dr. Jenkins conducted a scientific experiment on humans to preserve human species’ way of life.

Florida is Australian pine. Australian pine trees threaten beach plant communities as they quickly invade beaches. They have also invaded Everglades. These trees produce a dense leaf litter beneath them thereby outcompeting native vegetation.

There is a very modern Twilight Zone twist to this story of a man waking up in a small town where no one can escape and no one is allowed to talk of their past lives.
