[ WP ] There was a terrible disaster and you do n't know the last time you 've seen another person alive because you ca n't remember anything for more than a year .

*Again with the same dream... * 
 It is all kind of blurry but I can make out certain things. 
 In it I'm walking to a strange building there are flashes of light behind me as well as loud voices, they sound like cheers and I feel happy. I turn back and wave to the crowd before walking towards the door. I am drowning in happiness. For the past 213 days this was my sleeping routine. First I go to sleep, dreading what will come, and then I wake up crying, often wishing I never had this dream because if I did n't then I would not yearn for it to be true. Today is different though.

 Day 214: 
 I should reach Windhoek tomorrow so today I am going to take it easy and recover my strength from all those days spent running. Part of me does n't want to stop at all but tomorrow is an important day. I can hardly contain the excitement. I might find another meet another human tomorrow. I hope it is someone interesting and kind. 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 Day 215: 
 I arrived at the city this morning and did not find anyone. It looks just as I would imagine from a scene described in a post apocalyptic book. I have not lost hope yet since I still have a lot of places to look in. 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 Day 216: 
 It ca n't be true.... This must be one of those sensationalist articles I have read about in books. 
 
 Today I found a newspaper on the ground and the front page had an article that talks about the possible extinction of humans due to some sort of virus called Stratus that had claimed 2 billion lives at the time of writing. The article said that the virus was airborne and it would be a matter of time before it encompassed the world. 
 
 Tomorrow I am going to stop by a library to look for more newspapers. Maybe I will find someone there or at least some insight into what really happened. 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 Day 220: 
 Still nothing.... 
 
 I did find articles from different newspapers telling the same story about the Stratus virus. Whatever this thing is did n't affect any animals that's for sure. I should go back out into the city and continue my search for anyone not get wrapped up in stories from the past. I came to the city with a purpose. 
 
 The dream keeps me focused. 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 Day 228: 
 
 I searched high and low for any signs of human life and nothing. I saw some writings on a church wall today, I believe it is called graffiti. It said `` We deserve this.'' That damn article keeps popping back into my head. 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 Day 256: 
 
 I shot myself two days ago.... 
 Of course it did n't work or else I would n't be writing.... This has to be some sort of joke.... 
 
 According too books shooting myself in the temple should've pierced my brain and killed me but all that happened was that I blacked out for a day. 
 
 That does n't matter, what is important is the reason why I tried in the first place. After searching throughout the city I decided to look more into that story I found on that damn newspaper. I went to several news stands, hospitals, government facilities and gathered anything that might reference the Stratus virus. 
 
 I found information about how the virus mutated people's cells to decompose into basic chemical components that went into the soil and into the air. It was all very scientific and took me a while to understand. I spent a lot of days reading over books to comprehend what was written. 
 
 After reading about 4 patient files, 2 newspapers, and 3 confidential government files that had some words blacked out I noticed something weird. There was nothing dated after one of the government files. 
 
 Even though there were words blacked out I could understand the message pretty well. It was a correspondence between the local government authorities and another in some distant country. In it the local authority was blaming the other for the catastrophe that was happening and that if they did n't find a solution humans would cease to exist. 
 
 I was in shock from what I had read that day... Staying still, lifeless in the corner of the room. 
 
 And then I had the dream again. 
 
 The loneliness I felt while travelling was nothing compared to what I felt after realizing that the possibility that I was the last person on earth was true. So I shot myself.... 
 
 I would try to starve myself or suffocate to death but I learned from past experiences that it does n't work on me for some reason. I just black out. Did I get the virus and it made me incapable of death? 
 
 What I would n't give to see someone... 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 Day 258: 
 
 Decided to finish the rest of the material I found when searching for information about the virus. I had been afraid of reading the rest since just the few pieces that I went through made me kill myself. 
 
 Or at least try.... 
 
 On to the matter at hand. I found out that the virus was created in a laboratory. And that it was a mutation of a vaccine that was supposed to prolong human life with the same name. 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 Day 259: 
 
 Most of the important stuff seemed to be in the government files that I had already read. But I still could n't get into the details since entire paragraphs were blacked out sometimes. 
 
 There is a digital video disc labeled Stratus but I ca n't see it's contents at the moment. I need to find a generator first and power the necessary equipment to watch it. 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 Day 261: 
 
 Found a generator and turned it on. Seeing the lights turn on for the first time is an alarming experience. Now I need to learn how to handle the equipment in order to watch the DVD. This will take a couple of days at most.

 & nbsp; 
 
 Looking at the TV turn on I imagine a family sitting on the couch and watching a movie together. I can barely go on... thinking that the dream is probably just dream in light of the recent findings is more than I ever thought I would have to handle. 
 
 I put in the disc and soon a video starts playing. 
 
 It is a news report. 
 
 Seeing the people on TV brings tears to my eyes. 
 
 I decide to pause the video to get a hold of myself. I can see the people as many times as I want after watching the video. For now I need to focus on the contents of the news report and see what it has to do with all that happened. 
 
 The reporter talks about celebration as history is about to be made with the creation of the stratus vaccine. Apparently it was a big deal and so there was live coverage of the event. 
 
 They decide to go on location where their reporter was in. He briefly talks about how important the vaccine will be and that this was comparable to the lunar landing as a stepping stone for mankind. He then stops talking and the camera turns around. 
 
 A car pulls up into the driveway and a group of people exit a big black car. They pan up to the scene. 
 
 I drop the remote control and for a moment I felt as if I ceased to exist. There was nothing. I feel nothing. My eyes widen. 
 
 One of the people in the group turns around and I see my face on the TV. Then it hits me. The building looked familiar, everything about it. It was my dream. 
 
 A sudden rush of despair mixed with joy permeated my body. I did n't know what to make of the situation. I could n't avert my eyes. 
 
 The man who I assume is myself in the past starts talking. 
 
 `` Thank you everyone. 
 
 When I first found out about my gift I did n't know what to make of it. Today though I stand here ready to walk through these doors and with the help of the most brilliant scientific minds in the world find a way that uses this gift for good. We will stand together as a species for years to come. `` 
 
 The man walks into the building and the reporter speaks. 
 
 `` That was Richard Stratus''

 Day 301: 
 
 Why.....
