What If You Were the Sole Survivor on Earth
Surviving alone.

Imagine this: It's a beautiful Sunday morning, and you rise from your bed, stretching as you greet the day. Opening your window, you're met with clear skies and a stunning view. However, something seems amiss—the usually bustling streets are deserted. Where did everyone go?
As you take a closer look, a realization dawns upon you—you are the sole inhabitant of this planet. With this newfound knowledge, what will be your next move?
In this extraordinary situation, the answer is simple: you have the freedom to do anything and everything your heart desires. The world is your playground, and you can embark on your own grand adventure. Craving the thrill of racing a sports car at lightning speed on an empty freeway? Go ahead, as there's no traffic to impede you. Feel like playing a round of golf from the top of a skyscraper? Why not? Even if you accidentally break a window or two with your golf ball, who's there to mind?
Have you always dreamt of living in a colossal mansion? Well, guess what—now you can. The possibilities before you are endless, and nothing can hinder you from experiencing them all.
But after indulging in all the excitement and thrills, you find yourself contemplating the future—what's next? Perhaps it's time to delve into the reason behind the world's sudden emptiness. Could there be others out there? What if you're not truly alone? The quest for answers may lead you to explore the city and venture beyond its limits.
However, the world is vast, and the chance of encountering another living soul might be slim. The thought of this can be terrifying, so it's best to focus on more pressing matters—such as surviving in this desolate wasteland that has become your kingdom.
The first task on your to-do list is securing food and clean water. While you may have a good supply for some time, perishable items won't last indefinitely. Consume them before they spoil, as there won't be anyone operating the power stations that keep grocery store refrigeration units running. Eventually, you'll need to find a way to filter water since bottled water supplies will diminish. A portable water filter becomes a vital tool for survival, enabling you to purify water from any source.
After savoring all the perishable foods you had stockpiled, it's time to consider long-term sustenance. Without electricity, non-perishable food items such as rice, beans, and canned goods become reliable companions in your survival journey. As time passes, you'll need to develop farming skills to cultivate your own food before your stockpile runs out completely.
In a world without medical assistance, obtaining and stockpiling medical supplies becomes crucial. Raiding pharmacies for future supplies prepares you for potential emergencies. You must also exercise caution since there won't be any doctors available to treat serious injuries.
Being the last human on Earth necessitates acquiring a range of survival skills, including hunting, first aid, cooking, and more. Libraries and bookstores, once overlooked, now hold the key to expanding your knowledge and becoming an ultimate survival expert. While the internet won't be accessible, you'll learn to rely on traditional methods.
Carrying survival gear becomes essential for handling various challenges on your own. Having a versatile hiking toolbox can be a lifesaver, equipping you with everything you need to navigate and stay safe in both the wilderness and the city.
While solitude may be enjoyable at first, eventually, the need for companionship arises. Consider getting a pet or seeking other forms of connection with living beings. However, be cautious about potential dangers posed by wild animals.
Living in luxury might seem appealing, but the maintenance of lavish buildings becomes impossible without caretakers. Perhaps it's better to leave the city altogether and explore the vastness of the world. However, bear in mind that transportation options will be limited, as vehicles will become useless over time due to fuel degradation. Choosing a place to settle down, preferably without extreme weather conditions, becomes a wise decision.
Don't forget about clothing—while raiding stores for fashionable outfits might be tempting, prioritizing practical attire is crucial for survival. Make sure you have clothing suitable for all seasons and keep warm garments and blankets readily available.
Now, let's focus on the brighter side of things—entertainment. With nobody around, you can explore various hobbies and unleash your creativity. Learn to draw, sculpt, or even write your own book. The possibilities are endless. Just remember to maintain your communication skills by talking to yourself or your pet parrot, ensuring you don't forget how to use your own voice.
