There is nobody. No friend, no enemy, no unloved neighbours and no urge to work and earn money. Everything belongs to you, all countries and all palaces. Everything you want is just there for you, close your eyes and imagine that you are the only person on earth. The whole planet is your play field. How would that be?
One morning the alarm went off, you woke up and there is nobody at home. Telling yourself that everyone probably went somewhere you start your breakfast, but there is an interesting silence. There is no car noise coming from the outside, neither can you hear any children playing outside. When you finish your breakfast and take a look at your social media accounts, you notice something which is more strange. Nobody has shared anything today, nobody at all. This confuses you alot, it’s time to go outside to understand what’s happening but the streets are completely empty. Aside from cats and dogs there is no one and you realize, you are the last person on earth.
Getting over this shock will not be easy of course, but what could have happened? Did a virus end the life of all humans on earth? Or did everyone plan this as a joke on me? While thinking about this the first day alone on earth has already passed. The second day, you notice that this isn’t that bad at all. Think about it, you can drive the first luxe car you see, you don’t have to pay for it. When you see a beautiful Ferrari, the only thing you have to do is find out in which house the keys of the care are, go inside and get the keys for it. After that you can drive the car untill you are out of gasoline. The clothes you have on start being dirty but this is not a problem. You can get inside any store you like and grab whatever you like and get out.
There is enough clothes for the rest of your life, you can be as wasteful as you like. Okay, did you notice that you are a bit hungry? Then go into the first groceries store you see and eat anything you desire. All the chocolates and food are yours now. But watch out, the lights could go out and you don’t want to be trapped anywhere. In a world without humans there will not be anyone fixing any problems that the electric lines could have, the world will be buried in darkness in a couple of days. You would do good If you store all the candles and lanterns that you find.This is because the lightless nights will be even longer than it was before all this happened. Maybe, you are feeling what true lonelyness means for the first time in this darkness.
Very soon all packaged food will start being spoiled so you better start learning how to hunt. Catching fish would be a good choice but watch out. The wolves, pigs and bears who lived around the city you live in now walk the same streets as you do. Even though they wouldn’t make this decision before a couple of months would pass, they will all come towards the city center because there is no human presence to keep them away. For this reason, break the windows of gun stores and take some guns with you, we don’t want to be food fort hem.
There are 3 important things to be able to stay alive on the world all alone. The need for water, food and shelter. Shelter is the easiest one, all the beautiful palaces and mansions are yours. Get inside any of those you like and enjoy. Nobody will ask you what you are doing, if you are bored from the city where you live in you can just go anywhere else you would like. In the end, everywhere is yours. Maybe there are holiday centers which you always wanted to see but that you just could not visit because there was never an oppurtunity for it. Get in any car you would like and get on the road.
Don’t forget, wherever you go you are both the CEO and the employee. There is no one who will serve you. By the way, you are alone on the world so you can also get in places which are forbidden. For example you could get the bombs which belong to the army which are on their war planes. Maybe you could blow up some buildings that you don’t like to add some excitement to your life when you are bored from being alone. One minute, you hear a sound. What can there be in the middle of the city? According to researches, in a world without humans, animals would find a way to escape zoo’s because they would be starving. Some way or another, they will find a way out.
This means that in a couple of months there will be Lions, elephants and even alligators on the same streets as you. But since there are no other humans around, so many animals walking around means it can prevent the hunter from having troubles regarding food. For this reason, you will not be the first one on the hunt list of a lion. You can relax for a while. Did you notice?
You have more energy than before. You feel healthier. This is because there are no factories and exhaust gasses that pollute the atmosphere and the environment anymore. Your body works alot better and there is nobody who can infect you with a disease. But if you don’t posses the knowledge for first medical care, a little cut could get infected and open the doors to bad results.
For this reason always take your medical bag with you. Actually, staying alive in a world like this is the easiest part, protecting your sanity is the hard part. This is because mankind posesses a consciousness which is focussed on living as a groups and having continiously contact. Not having any contact or a conversation with someone for days, weeks and months may cause you to talk with yourself without noticing that you are doing so. Research showed that prisoners, who were alone in a cell for a long time, were talking to pictures of humans which they drawed on the walls. They would have names for the people who they drew on the walls and even have fights with them.
This is because a human is a social creature. Even the most shy person who only would need him or herself in this world would feel the need to talk to someone. There are people who live on islands and in forests all alone. They become owners of a dog to socialize with it, be friends with it and talk with it in order to fulfill their needs. Maybe you can also get a dog in this world where you are all lone.
It will be protector and friend for you. Since there is no electricity and no internet, you might want to travel around the world to see if there is anybody alive besides you. You could do this with a car but it would take a long time. If you know how to use one, you could use a boat or a plane. With a quality and quick boat, you could travel around all coast cities to search for signs of mankind.
If you posses any kind of pilot training, you have the option to travel the world in a quicker way by using a small plane. But there is a thing which you need to pay attention to. This world is not under human control anymore, nuclear bases could start exploding in 10 years time. For this reason, you should avoid places that posses such bases. Every one of these explosions can cause a destroying effect.
It has been seen that humans forget their past and their own lifes. This is because humans try to stay alive and live their lifes so much that they will forget their past and memories. If they don’t have people around them or photographs to keep those memories alive, these will dissapear after a long time and they would not be able to stop that. Make sure you visit the places you have grown up in, if you can’t do this make sure you have something with you that reminds you of those places. Or you can wait for death in your shelter on this planet where you are all alone and where you don’t have anyone to show your pictures to or tell about the places you have visited.
