In the world of science fiction, there are stories that captivate our imaginations, and then there are those that haunt us with their poignant irony. Lynn Venable's "Time Enough at Last" falls into the latter category—a timeless tale that serves as a cautionary reminder of the value of time, the pursuit of passions, and the unexpected twists of fate.
The narrative introduces us to Henry, a man whose life is a testament to relentless busyness. Plagued by poor eyesight, he hides behind thick glasses and toils away most of his waking hours at work. The precious few moments that remain are filled with the drudgery of domestic life, where his wife, averse to reading, finds solace in socializing and television.
