All The Time (The Twilight Zone)

Here is my update of the story.

Henry Bemis, a bookish bank teller who has a childlike interest for the written word, enjoys reading at home and even during office hours. Sadly, he is constantly harassed by his spouse, clients and boss for his fascination to the point that he has to hide in the bank's vault to read. Upon his stay inside the vault, a nuclear holocaust blasts the town, leaving him unharmed. He found out that he has "time enough at last" to read, read and read. At this point, he stacks the books into towers when he finds a library. But in reaching a certain book, his sight got blurry, colors seem faded. He said, "That's not fair.. that's not fair at all. There was time now. There was all the time I needed. It's not fair!" And then, Bemis nearly wanted to kill himself because he could not do what he wanted. After a few minutes, he was totally blinded because he was suffering from a sever diabetic retinopathy. After that, he killed himself because of the bitterness of life to him.
