The Langoliers
The concept of the movie is mind blowing. Where does King come up with stuff like this...?
I will just explain the concept as simple as I can:
Imagine every instance (not a second, not a nano-second...nothing on the known time dimensional scale can compare to it's minusculity) of your life is a parallel universe by itself. Suppose you were eating at Taco Cabana 15 minutes ago (again I am talking time for the lack of better knowledge) in Universe A and were walking out of Taco Cabana this very instant in Universe B.
Somehow you stepped on a puddle of water that is infact a time warp and got thrown back 15 minutes into Universe A. What you will see there is how Universe A looks 15 minutes from then. Since it isn't being used, it will be destroyed by the 'time keepers'. But Universe A at this instant looks devoid of life, air, sound and everything that makes you feel you are in a normal environment.
Therefore at every passing instance we are progressing rapidly into a time warp tube whose every slice is a door into a parallel universe.
Your God would make for an awful Object Oriented Programmer :P

Infinity is a deep well. I think the Langoliers are another expression of Saturn, who eats his children.
A deep well with no end at all...I hear that the Greek version of Saturn is Chronos, how weird is that...
