Grace - With your change we miss out on the rooting for Bemis aspect of the story. We are supposed to feel elated when a good optimistic man about to shoot himself gets what he wants most in the world only for us to get crushed when he breaks his glasses and losses it all. Your change makes Bemis a pathetic depressed man who kinda gets what he wants at first, then realizes that it isn't what he wants, and then realizes he has got what he wants, and then he looses it. Your change has too many changes in beat and it misses out on the joy and elation we feel when Bemis discovers the library which is then completely shattered unexpectedly. Also, with your change at the end of the tale I feel that Bemis sorta deserves his glasses breaking given his misanthropic feelings when he discovers everyone is dead and initially thinks maybe now he will be happy. The jerk didn't deserve those books. Pablo - Your "change" isn't a change. It's a completely different story and there is no twist. It's just a nuclear holocaust is a bad thing story.
There is a second ending where he finds new glasses at a pharmacy and he can read and it's all happy again. And there's grocery stores. And then he finds another survivor nerd girl. But then her zombie girlfriend shows up...
I didn't say there wouldn't be a single book on earth, but I don't think Henry is chartering a flight or calling an Uber any time soon. We also don't know how many blasts were around him and where they were. A single atomic blast in reality burns hotter than the sun and incinerates everything (read: humans) within at least 1.2 km depending on the size of the payload, so I don't expect something as fragile as paper to survive any blast radiuses. Thank you for commenting!

Thanks for your thoughtful comment, @TomickFenny. Although we stand by our changes, you make some great points here.

And then he remembers that there are other glasses in the world. And he finds some. In your face rod serling
Fun fact:
Did you know that Rod Sterling is the forever Mayor of the Twilight Zone...and his Identical twin brother works at the Night Gallery.

Clever!
Pablo's suit is fine but why wasn't he smoking?
Thank you for asking the best question ever, @Rickkennett143! pablo wanted to, but he's about to have eye surgery and can't be around any smoke.
I hate Pablo´s new take ... It sounds absolute stupid... So there isnt a single book left on earth? C´mon now...
