Twilight Zone Episode 8 - Time Enough at Last
ORIGINALLY BROADCAST November 1959
SUMMARY: Henry Bemis, a bookish bank clerk, can't find enough time to read. He reads constantly, nearly every waking minute. On his lunch hour, he reads of the H-bomb while down in the vault of the bank. It goes off suddenly, leaving him as the last man on Earth. In the ruins of a sporting goods store he finds a gun and considers doing away with himself … but when he catches sight of the remains of a public library, he has a reason to stay alive.
Alas, those were the only Calvinist books. All of the others were Armenian or unsold John MacArthur books. :)
ReplyDeleteHenry, one hint: Stop by the optometrist's office first and make sure you have plenty of glasses to last you. I heard from Corky that you might have some difficulties if you don't.
ReplyDeleteGreat books!
ReplyDeleteNo one else was in a vault or a similar structure at the same time? I find this impossible to believe!
ReplyDeleteJoel, I have a suggestion. Why not use this weeks Random Word Challenge to create the sequel to this episode? I would love to see your spin on a "part 2".
ReplyDeleteSo what you're saying...is that God preserved him by preventing him from reading those books by way of the breaking of his glasses.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Henry Bemis needs to start praying.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat's probably a good setup as long as it's all within walking distance to grocery stores.
