Everyone is dead. Billions of people killed by a single incidental act of some form or another. Everyone you know is dead, and yet somehow you are still alive.
On the upside you have not to pay any bills, do any homework or clean the house.
On the downside you are totally alone as far as you know.
You look through your home and find not a single member of your family still with you. Your dog, through the same line of fate as you is still alive though. You call 911 and the phone rings and rings and rings but there is no answer. You step outside and call out for help. You hear silence. Dead and total silence. You are alone. Beside you your dog wimpers in hunger, but you ignore the dog for now, there must be someone somewhere still alive! You go next door and pound on the door, waiting for the answer that wont come. You open the door and find no living bodies, just cold empty shells that once held life.
Silence. Total and utter silence.
You search the next few houses. Then the next street. You keep doing this till the sun goes down. You scream out, you cry, you get angry. You listen to the echo of your own voice.
Silence. Total and utter silence.
The end of the world and you alone... but not really. Your dog is still with you, ignoring its own pain till you are done uselessly searching for something you wont find. Frustrated and tired, you return home but something is off here. The lights are on in your house and you know you didnt leave them on.
Excited and scared, suspicious yet curious, you enter the house and find someone of the opposite gender as you sitting at your kitchen table as it they have been sitting there for a while.
They look up with a serious face staring deep into your eyes. This person does not love you, nor do you of them. This person has been hurt and is suffering as are you. You realize as you look into their eyes that you are the last of your kind and without the the other saying anything, you know your the next Adam and Eve.
It doesnt matter that you dont love them. It does not matter that they of you. You know that the only reason you two are alive now though is because of failure of the last race and this was a chance to start over.
