The Last Man

The last man

            The last man on earth sat alone and contemplated suicide; suddenly there was a knock at the door. It was the girl from his biology 101 class Riah. Chris couldn’t believe it. He was sure he was the last man on earth alive. How had she survived? Then he thought how had she known he was alive? As he stared at her in surprise she smiled and said “Hey”. Like it was just any other day and she was coming over to hang out. All he could do was stare at her stupidly.

            “Can I come in?” he moved aside to give her just enough room to slip inside. As she entered he closed the door. He finally was able to squeeze out “How did you know?”. That’s when she told him about her wish. She had wished that her and Chris were the last two people on Earth and it had worked.
