Geocache Description:

This is the 9th in a Twilight Zone series.


Season 1, episode 8, aired November 20, 1959.

"Time Enough at Last" became one of the most famous episodes of the original Twilight Zone. It tells of Henry Bemis, played by Burgess Meredith, who loves books. The episode follows Bemis through the post apocalyptic world, touching on such social issues as anti-intellectualism, the dangers of reliance upon technology, and the difference between aloneness (solitude) and loneliness.

Finding himself totally alone in a shattered world with food to last him a lifetime, Bemis succumbs to loneliness and despair. As he prepares to commit suicide, Bemis sees the ruins of the public library in the distance. Investigating, he finds all the books he could ever hope for are his for the reading, and (as he gazes upon a huge fallen face of a clock) learns that he has all the time in the world to read them without interruption.

His despair gone, Bemis contentedly sorts the books he looks forward to reading for years to come. Just as he bends down to pick up the first book, he stumbles, and his glasses fall off and shatter. In shock, he picks up the broken remains of the glasses. He is virtually blind without, and says, "That's not fair. That's not fair at all. There was time now. There was all the time I wanted...! That's not fair!", and bursts into tears, surrounded by books he now can never read.
