The darkness is slowly taking over the city, squeezing the last bit of light out of the sun and reflecting it on my face full of emotions. Overwhelmed with the pure silence like a hot bath on an ice cold day,it's just making everything about this moment and nothing else. A moment that feels like an eternity.Am I wrong for feeling good about this, about the completely loneliness I'm dragged into?

The last one, last human on Earth. I don't know why, but I am feeling enthusiastic even though this can't be happening, there must be someone alive because the odds of me being the only one are too small, infinitesimal. I'm not that lucky anyway, I never won anything based on luck. Had some thoughts that God chose me, but since I'm not a religious kind of person, this can't be anything else than hell. I like it. If this is how it feels like, then bring me two more tickets please, I want to come back again sometimes.

After the second stage, people started freaking out, leaving their work places or even their home and went as far away as possible from this place, not that it made a big difference anyway, can't trick the destiny, which sucks. It didn't bring me anything better than a painful and slowly death, it never brought something good for me, not even in school.

The first thing I can think of is my english teacher. Oh, I hated that person so much... I knew I was right when I said we will never use all that crap she taught us,even though I never imagined it being this way.
What's the point anyway? Nobody will judge me now based on my english skills, most probably because there is no one to do that. You know what Beth? You can suck it! You are probably dead, but I still hate you for failing me.

I don't think there was anyone that day who was thinking thinking that in 3 days everybody will die. Almost everybody, I am still here, which I think is more unfortunately for me than for the others.
That day, if anyone asked me what would I choose between the life I had and the life I have now, I would have chosen this one, I liked the idea of going back to the basics of survival.
Now,even if I am not really doing bad with resources as food and water is everywhere and I have everything, I would give anything to go back to my daily routine, my happy family and my friends. I mostly miss a person to talk to. I miss everybody, any human being. Actually, there is someone I miss the most besides my family.

Emily. She was perfect. A blonde girl, whose eyes' colour I never knew and probably I will never know, just because of my shyness. I could never watch her in the eyes. She always wore skinny jeans with a nice t-shirt that had a motivational quote or something fancy written on it. Or that's how I remember her from the few times I saw her. She always looked happy.

One of my few regrets is that I never got to thank her friends for talking so loud next to me that they gifted me the sound of her name, otherwise I would only have the memory of an unknown girl. I also would have said that not meeting her is another regret that I have but that would be a lie. I never wanted that, neither could.
