>'I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.' - Albert Einstein 
 
 Einstein may have been a genius, but he was wrong about this. 
 
 There wo n't be a World War IV, because I'm the last human alive. 
 
 They had n't noticed our presence, though They knew there was life on earth from the chemical signature of our world, like countless other worlds. When all of these nukes started going off at once, They realized that there was sentient life on earth and that They'd need to intervene if we were to survive at all. It did n't take long, but when one of Their wildlife conservation groups finally came to earth, they found utter devastation. Every major city was leveled, and a nuclear winter had begun. Some of the earth's life would survive, of course, but humans would n't be able to. Maybe if we had colonized other worlds before this all happened... 
 
 Luckily for me, I was deep underground working on some experimental scientific equipment when it happened. `` Luckily.'' It's hard to feel lucky in any way when you see your whole race wiped out. They have some amazing life sign scanners, though, and were able to find me and rescue me. Their scans confirm: no remaining human life exists. They moved me to some sort of wildlife refuge center. The food tastes terrible, but gives me all the sustenance I need. At first, They had no idea how to communicate with me. It was too dangerous to retrieve any records from earth, but I figured They'd work it out eventually if I just talked and wrote things to myself. 
 
 That was a year ago. They use telepathy and scents to communicate, so it took Them a while to figure out that my sounds and writing were *my* communication, and They have to run through a computer translator to talk to me. Now that we've developed some level of communication, They've been able to see that this isolation is... hard to deal with. They'd like to try to introduce me into Their society, but there are concerns that I, like the rest of my species, am just too violent... and my isolation and fragile mental state in the last year has n't helped either. 
 
 Today, I meet Their shrink for the first time. He's going to see if I can adjust. Adjust to the death of my species. Adjust to Their society. If not, I'll spend the rest of my days in this... zoo.
