January 21, Entry 21
If I was the last person on earth, what I would do would depend on two things. One: Did everybody just suddenly die and now there are corpses everywhere or did everybody vanish? Two: IS electricity still there? I suppose I could always go to all the houses I could find and turn off all the electrical stuff, or just use a generator, I imagine there'd be plenty of gas left in the gas stations since nobody would be using it. The first thing I'd probably do would be freak out for a few hours or possibly days. Once I came to terms with what was happening I'd probably make a decision between killing myself or attempting to survive until either I found more people or the vanished people returned. Assuming I decided to live on, I'd probably drive into Central City in my mom or dad's car and turn off all the electrical stuff in every house. Then I'd look for any generator's I could find and attempt to get them into the car, which, I suppose would be the van now that I think about it. Then, if there was still room in the van, I'd go to the grocery store and pick up as much food as I could find. Then I'd probably bring it all home and make another run into town to get as much gas as I could from the gas stations before lack of power prevented the gas pumps from working. Then I'd drive to Cedar Rapids to get more gas and possibly some conversion cables from Best Buy so I could convert the power from the generator to power the appliances that you can't directly plug in, or try and figure out a way to connect the generator to the main power thingie.

This would be entry 25 actually. :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have everything planned out. I am sure the power would stay on for a while. I'd probably hike to some place like Arizona where it is always warm.
