About this audiobook

Henry Bemis is a nearsighted bank teller who loves to read, and who never has the time. His job takes his days and his wife Agnes takes the rest. He sneaks a magazine into the bank vault at lunch. Then a great blast shakes the city, and when Henry wakes, the world he knew is gone. He walks through silent streets, looking for the one thing he has always wanted. Lyn Venable's 1953 story, which later inspired a famous television episode, is short, strange and sad. Richard Stibbard reads it in sixteen minutes. For anyone who has ever wished for a little more time to read.
