All the Time

Time enough at last generally is about a bookish little man, Mr. Henry Bemis, whose passion is reading printed pages. His wife and boss were both complaining since he was spending more time and attention in reading than those more important stuffs he should be working through. One usual day, he had a chance to read in the bank's vault wherein no one would disturb him. Moments after he sees a newspaper headline which talks about a bomb capable of total destruction, an explosion happened which ruined everything. Realizing that the vault saved him from death, eventually he felt depressed for he is the only one left in the world. When Mr. Bermis was about to kill himself, he saw the ruins of the national library and found all the books he wanted. He was so happy that he finally found a reason to stay alive. He piled up the books he's going to read for the rest of his life when his eyeglasses fell on the ground and broke into pieces leaving him blind, surrounded by the books he could never read.

It I would update the story, I would like to make Mr. Henry Bemis Found another pair of eye glasses so that he could continue his passion in life. New hope and happiness in spite of being alone in the world. Simple ending, yet more inspiring for the viewers.

And if I were going to write an adaptation of the story, I would still rely on the same theme, emphasizing a great passion and both general and specific interests.
