This
episode of the The Twilight Zone is
about Henry Bemis, a bank teller and a bookworm. His angry boss and wife complain
to him that he is already wasting too much time in reading books. The next day
he took lunch break in the bank’s vault and there was a sudden explosion making
him the last man on Earth. The story ended with a tragedy because even though
Henry Bemis was left with all the time and books, his glasses broke making him
unable to see.
If I were
to make an adaptation of this, I would change the beginning of the story. Henry
Bemis would not be addicted to books but to his gadgets. He would be using his
laptop, iPad and phone all the time, even if he is in his work or at home. Then
his boss and wife would be the ones telling him to get off his gadgets and read
lots of books instead. And when the bomb explosions happens, Henry Bemis and
all the people, including the boss and his wife, would be saved. Only the
gadgets will be destroyed, making Henry Bemis switch his attention to books.
I do
not want this to happen in real life because that would be sad. But I chose the gadgets to be destroyed rather
than the books and other things just so that the real story would have a happy
ending.
