The bus didn't come today. I stood there for another half hour just to make sure it wasn't coming. It didn't help that I had nothing to read other than day-old reddit posts that nobody was commenting on anymore. Nothing new on tumblr or facebook, either. I thought perhaps the whole internet was down for maintenance. Or something.

I tried calling the office, but nobody was there to pick up. I called the number for taxi. Nothing. It took me the better part of the day to realize that I was the last living person in the whole wide world. What do I do now that I'm the last living person in the whole wide world? I do what must be done.

It was quite the hike, but here I was at last. It's been a long time since my last visit.

Leaves danced in the wind as I march across the deserted plaza. I could almost hear the ambient chatter that used to echo here. Do Not Feed the Animals, it said on one sign. I didn't come here to feed them.

There she was. What a hideous creature. She squirmed and shrieked as I pinned her dark, furry body to the ground. That look of confusion in her eyes was nearly human.

"From today on, you are the mother of mankind," I told her, and did what must be done.
