[ WP ] You are not the last human , but you are the last human on earth

The thunderous rumbling paralyzed my entire body. Such as an infant with cerebral palsy, I lay in the dirt. Twitching and trembling, but not out of a fear. The only thought to run through my shivering mind was that of DEATH. DEATH. DEAD. I was really dead, quite honestly. I really was. I wasn ’ t going to hide it from myself. Although I lay there breathing, I was completely numb. I never thought death would be draught with such troubling emotions. 
 
 The quaking ship soon faded into the sky, the last of us. The last humans to leave Earth. The last, but me. They say your life flashes right before your eyes the moment you reach death. I don ’ t believe that shit. Death was giving me a thousand-yard stare, from miles away, and all I could think about was my selfishness. I ’ m not ashamed to admit it. I really was hoping they were looking down at me, perhaps out of pity. I really did not want to leave. 
 
 Another wave of shock ran through my body. This wasn ’ t from the parting ship exiting the atmosphere half a mile away. This was that of reality. It really was just me. The last man on Earth. 
 
 I screamed. 
 
 I screamed like a little girl. 
 
 Who gives a shit? There was no one left. No one to impress or feel self-conscious about. The excessive heaving slowed down, and my body was beginning to come around again. I did what I had to do to calm myself down. 
 
 “ It ’ s alright Trevor, everything ’ s okay, everything ’ s okay. This is what you wanted. You ’ re okay, you ’ re okay… ” 
 
 I started with my arms, running them through the dirt, mustering up the energy to lift myself from this embarrassing state of mind. The paralysis slowly crept out of my body, seemingly floating out like the soul of a dead man. Hell, maybe it was my soul. That ’ s just a moral concept anyways right? What ’ s morality when you ’ re the only one left anyway? 
 
 I spent the next few hours walking. It began to rain. The heavy drops felt like the tears of every man, woman, and child to ever walk this godforsaken planet. I couldn ’ t even tell if I was still crying. As the night began to cool, I happened upon an abandoned gas station. Scratch that, just a gas station. Considering everything is abandoned, there ’ s no need to really differentiate. I kicked down the rotting boards covering the door and walked right in. 
 
 “ Hello there! Welcome to FuelBrite! ” 
 
 Ah, finally, a gracious smile. I waved to elderly cashier and continued towards the coolers. Boy was I thirsty. Without much hesitation, I grabbed the first Coca-Cola I laid my eyes on. 
 
 “ You see that game last night? Gosh darn was that a thriller! I really thought Gonzalez had him in the 11th! But then again, he ’ s been slumpin ’ the past few games huh? ” 
 
 Sure, whatever bub.
