All The Time. TO PERISH.

     Being a bookworm in a period with no people and with a library of books to last you a lifetime would be absolutely delightful under normal circumstances. But with bad eyesight and broken glasses it turns into a horrible nightmare. So, if I were to make an adaptation based from All The Time, I would make it MORE HORRIBLE. I will not take the element of the occurrence of a nuclear assault away from my version (as nuclear strikes are always so exciting), and therefore every single person in the vicinity is dramatically reduced to ashes. The person would be characterized as a rich megalomaniac woman, who is deeply entrenched in her social spheres and interactions. She was saved from the sudden death brought about by the assault since she was withdrawing money from her vault (I know this is unrealistic, but hey, reading inside a vault is even more preposterous). When she goes out of the vault, everything is leveled to the ground and she rushes to her home and sees that it too, was leveled to the ground. Even her business establishments are now but pieces of rubble. She is left with nothing but money, which is obviously useless given the current situation. With everything she had gone and with nobody to bare her bosom to (that’s what she said), she is hurled to the depths of despair. Deep isn’t it? Deprived of the social interactions that once filled a significantly great slice of her life, she loses her grip of reality and sanity, and she develops an extreme case of trauma from the shock of her loss, which is bad enough since she already has megalomania. The wells of despair apparently is really deep. She eventually dies in isolation with no one to remember her, except the great Oblivion. The end. I actually want to raise the bar on this one, but I don’t want the viewers to hurl half-digested popcorn at their seatmates. The end (2).
