"Got nothing but Time"

How to spend time when we have all the time in the world except that we had lost everything, and got nothing but ourselves in a middle of nothingness?

Well I've been asking that to myself a few more times now after seeing "Twilight Zone: All the Time". At first, I thought that it will turn out just like one of those ordinary movies, having a nagging wife and all. But as the movie goes on, i became more confused and curious as to why the wife doesn't allow her husband, the protagonist, to read books. Then the bomb incident happened, leaving no one but the protagonist. He then found a library, piled and sorted books scheduling what to read on what month. But then his eyeglass got broken preventing him to read anything, leaving him lonely and heart broken.

The story is good, though if i were to make some changes or have my own version of it. Well first, considering the period we are in now, i believe no one can survive the bombs of today but for the sake of a having a story, let's say this one lucky guy was able to survive because of his weird fondness of reading books in which he happened to privately read in the most safest place in the world. Though, before anything had happened, unlike in the original, the first part should have a clear presentation as to why the guy is so fond of reading books, like showing some clips of a childhood him who was prohibited by his parents to read, resulting for him to go in this one place that in the present he will use to read privately because history repeats itself through her wife's disapproval of him reading books. Then a bombing event happened, leaving him the sole survivor. Then i just want the ending of the original story to be retained, though i prefer happy endings but the original ending gave a lot of impact to me so I'll just leave it like that, giving the audience the question of their lives.
