My Life As The Last Man On Earth

Prologue

Hi my name is Ryan I live in a small town with my family. I was an introvert, my world was like a ghost town, no other residents but me. Life alone was not so bad, even though i didn't talk much to people, I still made it out just fine. Sometimes this social anxiety thing really is annoying, I cannot order anything in McDonald's properly without asking for my mom or my brothers help, or when they get my order wrong, I just don't complain. Like that one time when we went to a fancy restaurant and the waiter got my order wrong, I asked for steak but they gave me caviar. My mom said to tell the waiter about it but I just said no. "You do not even like Caviar" my mom said, and now everyone was staring at me and my mom, it was so embarrassing then it got worse when the waiter arrived. "Is there a problem?" the waiter said, I just said nothing is wrong but my mom said "Excuse me but you got his order wrong", that was an unpleasant experience but atleast I got my steak. My point here is that I do not like talking to people in any shape or form, you might think I am weird but that is just how it goes, I just do not have the urge to talk to that many people in my life, I do not believe in the saying "A stranger is a friend you have not met yet" because for me strangers are just strangers and they will remain like one unless you talk to them or interact with them, but I do not have the urge to do such thing, I want to be alone with my thoughts and be inside my own mind. In my mind I am a man in my own island, I am just an I in my team, doing it alone is just fine for me, that is just how my life goes, an endless void of loneliness that I just can stop wandering around in. One night when was walking back home I was looking at the stars then saw a shining star, I stare at it and said "I wish I was the only man left on earth" and then continued walking back home, when I was crossing the street a truck suddenly came rushing and crashed into me, I was bleeding on the floor and was about to lose consciousness, but many people came to my aid, then I passed out. When I woke up in the hospital everything seemed, abandoned. The lights were flickering and there was barely any electricity left, luckily I found a flashlight to guide me through the silent and dark corridors and I instantly jumped when something dropped, it was just a can but I screamed like a little girl and tried to quickly run out of the building. It was weird to see that there was no sign of anyone else, but i did not mind it at first but when I got out I was shocked. The city is now abandoned, with cracking sidewalks and roads, unstable infrastructure and just poles randomly crashing down and wires sparked. I was like in a post apocalyptic world now, being the last man on earth, the normal reaction of an average person is to panic or something, but I was thrilled, no one is there to be shy of anymore, I can finnaly be me, this is my adventure, as the last man on earth!
