The Last

Living the dream, Day 1

"For the record - I didn't do anything. It's not my fault. And if had to decide who should be the one person who survives an apocalypse, it wouldn't be me. But here I am. Alive - and alone. I don't know why. But it seems like I am the last person left on this planet."
The red light kept blinking while I was struggling to fill my lungs with air. "It's crazy - I mean. Maybe I'm not alone but", a  slow breath came over my lips, "but my town - there is no one. My parents don't answer my calls - maybe they're gone too....this is crazy. I mean - no corpse. But people cannot just disappear. It's madness."
I tried to sort out my thoughts. I noticed that people were disappearing. It had been on the news. It had been everywhere. In the last weeks the population was slowly getting smaller and smaller. But I never thought I would wake up being alone in my dorm room. Being alone in Webbers Hall. Being the only one in this college maybe even the whole town.
I took another deep breath and looked straight into the camera.
"If you see this...if you are alive. I'm in Piedmont, California. I'm staying here for a bit. Please write a comment below if you are alive", I couldn't believe I just asked people to write a comment on my stupid YouTube video," Please, tell me I am not alone."
The Video ended up everywhere. YouTube, Twitter, Tumblr, Vimeo, Facebook - thank god there still was free WiFi in Webbers Hall.
I felt a little better after it but still I was pretty sure that this was some kind of sick joke. Like the whole college just wanted to screw the strange loner who lives in Webbers Hall.
"Okay", I told myself, "The whole College just disappeared - which is cool because you would have been late for class. The Town seems to be a ghost town ...but maybe they're all just taking a nice little trip to Oregon. So, yeah."
I nodded and tried to fight back the tears. I wasn't alone. Someone would be out there.
It was ironical. Will Sollel - the boy who always likes to be alone wished for another human being.
I felt pathetic just laying in my bed, trying not to cry, waiting for a response. I forced myself to stand up, leave my room and went straight for the common room. Of course, it was empty but I never had the TV for myself before. But I was scared that maybe if I turned it on, there wouldn't be anything on. If it was true and I was the last person on earth - who should be working on a channel.
"I never get to see a fourth season of Sherlock", I whispered, "fuck."

After two solid hours of doing absolutely nothing but eating, trying to call my parents and starring out of the window I began to think.
If I was the only one left - did that means everything was legal now ? Did I become the ruler of the world, since it was my world now ?
I started laughing. All hell would break loose if I got to decide what I wanna do all day. And for a moment, just a moment I thought how awesome it would be if I really was alone.
