Our story begins in a deserted town. Six years ago, the war more specific a nuclear bomb drove the town to its ruins. We find two people, a woman and a man and they happened to be enemies. Now what would anybody do in a deserted place with their worst enemy? That sounds like the kind of question one would call ironic. This instead of just being ironic is poetic justice, this humans with their weapons, their nationality, their spirit for war “be one of your infantry heroes” (the twilight zone sing posted on wall) destroyed the whole town for they shall be punished.
They do not have a noble cause to fight for they are doomed to either kill each other or learn to survive. As the male says to the women “the only reason I cans see for us fighting is that your uniform is a different color than mine” justice is served by forcing the enemies to live with each other. It is ironic but the justice is not only forcing them to live with each other but love each other. There is a quote that says “when a man and woman find themselves alone things happen”(common quotes). And at the end the narrator explains how “this was a love story in the twilight zone”(twilight zone episode two) so at the end they live happily ever after. I cannot imagine what it would be like being doomed to fall in love with your worst nightmare.
