The Incredible World of Horace Ford

Mr. Horace Ford, who has a preoccupation with another time, a time of childhood, a time of growing up, a time of street games, stickball and hide-'n-go-seek. He has a reluctance to go check out a mirror and see the nature of his image: proof positive that the time he dwells in has already passed him by. But in a moment or two he'll discover that mechanical toys and memories and daydreaming and wishful thinking and all manner of odd and special events can lead into a special province, uncharted and unmapped, a country of both shadow and substance known as... the Twilight Zone.

Horace Ford is a toy designer who keeps remembering his childhood. Every time he remembers back it happens in a repeat. Finally he decides to go to his childhood neighborhood where he discovers to his amazement that he sees the same kids that he was friends with in his childhood. They bully and assault him, and Horace realizes that his childhood was not as glamorous as he would nostalgically recall. He returns to his own time period with new found appreciation for his current self.
