The Last Man

by David

The last man on earth sat alone in a room. There was a knot on the door.

Hmm … too passive.

The last man on earth sat alone in a room. It all seemed so REAL!

Cheating.

The last man on earth sat alone in a room.

Too depressing. Nihilist? Realistic?

The last man on earth sat alone in a room, regretting his sex change. Waiting for the second-to-last man to return from foraging? Let’s see, meditating before going to meet the last woman on earth. And wishing he’d not had a vasectomy.

Too obvious.

The last man on earth sat alone in a room. And used his last piece of paper.

Damn!
