Alone on Earth.

[Ocean]

Imagine.

You decide to go to the movies coming Friday and watch the movie 'I Am Legend'. Although it's a friday evening & it's weekend, you're surprised by the fact that you're the only person there to watch the movie. But what-so-ever, you sip your Coca Cola, you eat some Pringles, and it's time to enjoy some Will Smith killing demons! Ok, 100 minutes have past, and the movie came to it's end. That's odd, you have been in this cinema more, and you know that when the movie ends, the lights go on. Well, guess it's just broken. You step out of the 'I Am Legend' hall, and suprisingly enough...there is no one there. Deathly silence. You start wondering if you fell asleep during the movie, but no. You're awake. 100% awake. You go outside, cars are abandoned. All you hear is the wind. You decide to get in your Jeep, and drive home. Your friends, nor your family pick up the phone. Your neighbours are not at home. You are the last man/woman on earth.

What would you do? Just write a little story or something! I will later.

I like to read some creative & fun stories.

It took you that long to see the movie?

Well Just having watched that movie, I will probably have a panic attack.

Once I stop hyperventilating (or regain conciousness) I will listen for several minutes letting my eyes adjust. If it is quiet, I will move to the exit and take out my Princeton green micro light only if needed .

I will open my Al Mar folder and be ready for the baddies.

Only then would I go home and go to the shed where I keep the zombie protection kit - high powered lights to sear their eyes. motion detectors, a Borneo headhunters sword that will lop of a zombie head in one go, etc. Then, having survived the first night, I go to my shooting club and take out a semi-auto or pump shottie.

Provisioning a stolen / borrowed off roader, Dog and I would head for the hills/mountains to hole up and wait for the baddies to burn off their calories and start killing each other.

Then I'd wake up and find It was just an nice dream!

Earth Abides.
If you've already read it, sorry, good luck finding better.
If not, this is what you're after.

If I'm the last/only person on earth... what's the point in writing this post? There'll be nobody but me to read it.

As it is fictional, it's entertaining.

Philosophically speaking, being a person centres on my personality, my ethics, morals and existance being defined by my interaction with other people.
If there are no other people then I would cease to be a 'person' - just a human being.

So technically the last 'person' on earth would be the last person to die before me, leaving me as 'Sole Representative of the Human Race' - a title I much prefer.

Actually, you know what I'd do?

I'd kill myself.


If I killed myself I would have killed the last human being alive and in doing so I would be solely responsible for the extinction of an entire species.




My mum would be proud

Id write a memoir I was going along, just incase someone found me , or my body! Being the last person on earth would indeed be awful after a while. I suspect Id go and join some animals and attempt to hang around with chimps just for company. Failing that, Id take up meditation , read some books on running generators or raid camping shops for gas canisters. Id also go to the museum and get myself kitted out with a lovely samurai sword and maybe Id dress up as a viking or a knight just for fun. Id get me a horse as well, and 20 cats, which seems to work for isolated old women in council flats.

I also suspect the last person alive would travel the earth looking for others. even if you didnt find people, just living with hope can be enough to pull you through.
Yes thats what I would do.. maybe get a big truck and a horse wagon, a parrot , a monkey and a dog and Id set off on the road to dover and drive a boat over. Ok I cant drive a boat. Ill put me the pets and expensive museum costumes in a small speed boat, get a horse and vehicle on the continenent and maybe head eastwards over europe and asia towards the far east. I mean there is billions of chinese, bound to be them of some still about right?
