[ WP ] A guy wakes up and finds out that all of humanity traveled to Mars without him .

**Perspective** 
 
 Robert was not a very smart person, nor was he particularly aware either. We would joke, when he was little, that he could sleep through Armageddon itself, were it to show up on our doorstep; if it took the damn door step with it, maybe that would motivate him to get up. Robert and motivation had, at best, a tenuous relationship. He could find it when he wanted, or needed to, but that required a sense of urgency on his part; urgency is not something he could find before a black coffee. Yes, if anyone could sleep through Armageddon, it was certainly Robert, and one day, that is exactly what he did. 
 
 As Armageddon occurred, Robert slept. 
 
 As the world as we knew it ended, engulfed in the flames of senseless interplanetary warfare, Robert slept. 
 
 As humanity made its way to our only hope, escape, Robert just kept sleeping. Indifferent to the rocket blasts of our survivors escaping the atmosphere. Deaf to the shrieks of what ever sorts of things shriek during interplanetary conflicts. 
 
 Robert awoke the next morning. Armageddon is not a very long event; it can very easily happen in a night. The incredible part really is that it was after all that, that Robert awoke; that he had a peaceful morning, with his coffee, before throwing open the curtains to see – the mess they had made. He looked out over what was once his lawn, now a pile of shrapnel and viscera. He surveyed the damage and horror with a bemused look, slowly absorbing, absorbing the idea that things were not like this yesterday. He surely would get onto the idea that something was different soon, and eventually, that everyone was somewhere, where ever it was, it was not here. 
 
 “ Idiots ” Robert thought “ they told me that one day I would need to get up for something important; but now I don ’ t even have to get up at a specific time anymore! Life is good. ”
