Henry Bemis wants nothing more out of life than to read, but everyone he knows is determined to take that simple pleasure away from him. But soon, Henry may get the chance to read everything he ever wanted to.

Rod's Intro

" Witness Mr. Henry Bemis.  A charter member in the fraternity of dreamers.  A bookish little man whose passion is the printed page, but who is conspired against by a bank president and a wife and a world full of tongue-cluckers and the unrelenting hands of a clock.  But in just a moment, Mr. Bemis will enter a world without bank presidents or wives or anything else.  He'll have a world all to himself.  Without anyone. "
 

Rod's Outro

" The best laid plans of mice and men, and Henry Bemis, the small man in the glasses who wanted nothing but time.  Henry Bemis, now just a part of a smashed landscape.  Just a piece of the rubble.  Just a fragment of what man has deeded to himself.  Mr. Henry Bemis... in the Twilight Zone. "
