My Life As The Last Man On Earth

Part 1: Start From Scratch

On the first day of my last man on earth journey, things weren't actually looking good. I had no resources, no food and no water, and no electricity. But I thought to myself that electricity is already hopeless to recover because it is too complicated, so food and water is my first bet.

So I went to the nearest grocery store and took it's meat and fruits and also got a grocery cart to carry them around the city. Im sure the electricity was not gone that long so I can still eat the meat and fruits before they become bad. I also got milk and everything that goes bad quickly.

It was very exhausting to keep walking store by store to get some food and water, and I need a new way to travel with my resources. So I had an idea! Luckily I found a bike nearby and took it, I also found chain nearby so I also took it. I attached the cart with the bike so I can ride a bike while moving my resources.

After some time my cart gets full and I am packed for a week or two. But, I still do need a place to sleep and I don't know what city this is and I am unaware of it's layout.

So I tried looking for somewhere to sleep until I found an apartment building. So I got inside and seen that this place is really abandoned, with cracked tiles, fallen cabinets and chairs infested with rats, and I hear weird noises in every corridor. As desperate as I am, I was not living in a place this dangerous.

So I went out and tried looking for another place to sleep, this time I found a motel. Lucky me the motel has a store in it, and mostly it is canned goods which is still in good condition and preserved properly.

I was happy but now I have to check if this place is nice to sleep in. Then I saw nothing wrong with it, even though it is dark inside, there are  candles, lighters, and matches in the store.

Things are looking great for me and I am holding up well, I got food, water, and now shelter. So what now? What do I do? Do I just live my life watching the stars all night and just walk the empty streets all day?

Heck no, I'm gonna enjoy this to the fullest! There was also gas for sale and there was a car parked nearby, but sadly I don't have the keys for the car to drive it.

Aw man I thought I could be like that bald guy from Fast and Furious but I can't so I have to find another way to have fun for now.

So I got to a sports store, and just to let you know, that store was 10 kilometers away from the motel which was pretty far and it got worse that my bike's wheel got flattened by a random nail on the sidewalk but it's fine, I heard bikes in this store and built for long travels. So I got the coolest bike out and whipped it out
for a spin! Of course it was fun

I was dashing left and right, feeling the wind in my hair, the adrenaline in my veins, everything I have feared is now gone, I am now free!

And of course I went back to the motel after I had my fun, but the thing I didn't check was my bed. It was very dusty but it was fine, I covered the dusty bed with a few blankets and went to sleep.

The next day was pretty straightforward, I got munching on some steak I roasted on a grill, and yes there is a grill in the motel. How convenient! But I forgot I can't cook and it didn't taste that good, what's worse is that when I noticed that it didn't taste nice, I choked on it and almost died, luckily I manage to get it out. That might have been the most pathetic way to die.

So to get my mind of that little incident, I found a dog wandering around the streets, he was alone so I took him in and named him Sparky.

Sparky and I were having a lot of fun, I trained him, played with him and just had fun as the days gone by, we would eat canned food together because I don't know how to cook, and would go hunting when our supplies ran out.

But one day when we were walking in an ally way, Sparky randomly barked into the darkness. Me as the scaredy cat I am thought, what was it? A monster? A zombie? Another human?

Regardless of what it might be, me and Sparky went to get some water, the water tanks I get my water from are slowly running low so I have to conserve as much as I can, but now with Sparky with me, I have to share with him too.

At night when we were about to have dinner, a few hours ago I got a cook book to learn how to cook so me and Sparky won't just have cold food anymore.

I want my dog to have the best 5 star cuisine that costs a fortune, like those in fancy restaurants, like the food that has the size of a jelly bean and costs millions.

So I tried my very best not to burn my corned beef and got some garlic for it. The sizzling and simmering sounds it makes really triggers something within me, I feel like Gordon Ramsey!

But in the end, it was just your average corned beef and the thing is thay Sparky ate it all so I had to eat cold sardines for the night because it was getting late and I was tired so me and Sparky slept for the night and these past few weeks was one of a kind experience for me!
