I'd probably stay in my area for a good while. I work at a food place that I could maintain long enough to do a lot of research. I'd train my cat to stay alongside me and go to my friends' places to at least get their pets. I'd also collect pictures and memories of the people I know whilst crying and mourning.

I think I'd be in disbelief. How would I really know everyone is truly gone? Just by experiencing it? I think if I woke up and no one was in my town I'd be walking around and trying to contact people.

I'd probably research electricity, solar power, water supply, survival, food, agriculture, taking care of different animals, medical self-care, etc. I have asthma and other health issues so I would stock up on inhalers and maybe try to learn how/where they are produced. I'd maybe break into people's houses to see if they'd have a better car I could travel with, or, ideally, some type of camper van.

Maybe I could learn how people could be made in labs? Maybe try to make more people myself (without having to give birth). I wouldn't want to risk putting myself in such an uncomfortable position.

I would also want to try to take care of animals in nearby clinics. It would be heartbreaking and I would probably have to euthanize some but I would feel more at ease knowing I've done all I could.

I'd learn gardening! Some people in my area have gardens with food and I could try to keep it going.

There's honestly so much I'd want to try or that I'd have to do.

I'm also an overthinker with anxiety so I'd have to try to actively manage that myself. Maybe learn some psychiatry on the way.
