 Sede  look across the street from his home he was sad,once years before even this street was busy with activity as people came to and fro and yet as Sede remembered those days not too long ago,he remembered that he was sad too,sad that even when there were people none of them paid attention too him yet and when they did they always were yelling at him,complaining about him and downright didn't like him.

So then too one night as he got into bed he knelt before it and prayed like he always did, But this time as he did he prayed that he was alone and that everbody would just vanished,the next day as he started getting ready for work then he felt something was wrong,terribly wrong and looked out of his house,usually at this time a bus would stop to pick up passengers yet there was none. 
 

And as he went and got in his car he then too waited about this time old lady Henderson would be by to give him the newspaper and yet no one showed.He started the car drove down the street where he worked at and no one was there,suddenly as he headed for his office he saw a tv was on,but it was an old tape left in the vcr player,something about warning everybody .
 

Then he remembered his heart just hurt like never before,he heard that the government had launched a test rocket into space,cargo unknown and then suddenly it veered off course and exploded,maybe that's what happened but was did Sede was still safe he wished he knew . But he was alone now

Every day when he got up his first order of business was too check a CB radio hes had over the years he kept with him in case he ever stranded out there somewhere and yet living here in the city was his choice he wanted to be closer to where everything would be able to be within reach of him, like the store for food,a clinic in case he got hurt but it was not easy he had a job,he was writer,but a writer's life was not as attractive as people think or believe they are too, a writer's book that needs to sell, and currently before this happened his current novel was in the best sellers list but at the bottom,in fact he waiting to hear from his agent,which now would never happened,he cursed as he sat behind his desk in his office,the office building was now so empty so lifeless,what did this,what did the scientist try to prove this time ? What were they sending up into space ?.

He opened a desk drawer,there was a gun inside he needed something too protect himself when he went out about the city looking for food,At least whatever happened it didn't bother the food or water either . He would be able to live,he would just be alone is all, the last man on Earth . As far as he knew of that is . And yet as he then loaded his gun his eyes looked up. Space ,the last exploration of the human race ,the final conclusion . 
 

All alone. He then saw no one nothing empty buildings cars houses that was all that remained of the city he lived in . No children he heard no cars that in fact passed his house or the ocassional police siren or ambulance too    .Nothing then Sede loved the ocassional siren or ambulance even in his office building the sound of others wolrking on their computers ,hitting the keyboard as they type . 
 
Sede then  loved too write but now he had no one to write for. Sede never felt so sad or alone before he wanted to use the gun to kill himself to join the rest of humanity but something inside of him wouldn't let him . Sede even fell in love in this office building, his secretary was young,eager too pleased him with her work. And she was beautiful too. But the best part of her she was single as well. There weren't too many of those he knew that were single and he wasn't getting younger either .
