Picture this scenario. You go to bed like you do every night. You wake up and find that everyone in the house has died in their sleep. By this stage your panicking and try to phone for emergency services. There's no answer! You walk outside and find cars stopped on the sides of the road and crashed into trees, many with their engines still running. The drivers of the cars are slumped over their steering wheels. Even your beloved pet(/s) is dead. What are you going to do next? Are you going to try and secure weapons? What about supplies? What about the Power, Water, and Gas? Would you travel or bunker down?

- We will say that the cause of death is unknown. But everyone did die at the same time.
- There could be other survivors out there but you don't know the specifics. In the first 15 minutes in the above scenario, you find everyone dead. That doesn't necessarily mean everyone on Earth is dead. But they could be.
- There are no zombies, diseases, or even wild animals to worry about.
- If you intend on staying put, you may want to consider what industries are nearby. Some of them need to be running 24 hours a day, and without maintenance could spell disaster for the empty town.
- Both joke and serious answers are accepted. It's really up to you.












I forgot to add a section explaining what I thought about the mess. First I would go to the Police station or a gun store and stock up on weapons, combat shields, body armour and so on. Next stop would be the supermarket for all of the food that goes off quickly and also some bottled water (plenty of it). I would steal an awesome car and look for survivors. I would look for fireworks and use them in the centre of my local city. Failing this, I would gather Gas, Petrol, and generators and choose a new dwelling conveniently located near a warehouse of food and supplies. Eventually I would find a farm and attempt to live off the land.

Serious answer: Find a gun, put it between my teeth.
Silly answer: Steal some games, systems, play games til I can't play, then, find some sex toys. And do things with them.

That'd be boring as hell... I'd go ahead and find me a gun, then make my way around for a while and if I don't find any other survivor, I think I'll just go ahead and kill myself.

Freak out. Eventually I would check a computer to see if there is anyone online. If others live, I would probably try to meet them, since I dont want to be alone. If I cant find anyone, I would probably wander stores, living there, eventually in the dark. Batteries and flashlights and such would help. Eventually I would either go insane with paranoia, or kill myself from lonelyness and emptyness, but not before doing some things Ive wanted to do.

I would kill myself.

I am defined by three things: my beliefs, my passions and my relationships with others.

The final category is the most important to my happiness. With everyone gone that I have ever known, or ever would know- I would end my life as quickly as possible.

I'm a terrible person as my first thought was "Blow stuff up". I'd find a way to ensure I have access to electricity, then I'd grab some guns/explosives and I'd have a roaring good time. I would then most likely go on the hunt for:
A Nice car to drive in and a female survivor to show off mah mad driving skillz to.

Good times, Good times.

Serious: Do like I Am Legend and make my home my base of operations. Send out distress signals everyday.

Silly: Dance around town. Have a little fun.

Serious: Search for signs of life, no matter how bleak or hopeless things may get. Possibly succumbing to something life-threatening later on.

Silly: Screw around, blow stuff up, etc.

Snap, essentially. Wander, preferably with a few guns, and a machete and knife. I probably wouldn't off myself (at least not right away), so I might as well explore. Plus, who knows, maybe I'll find somebody.

Loot, find an awesome house, stock it with awesome things and have all the fun I can, then find a gun and off myself.

Quite a simple plan really.

Well first I'd find myself a sustainable shelter. Once food, shelter and electricity are no longer a problem, I'd make attempts to find other survivors. Eventually, if I couldn't find anyone, either boredom/insanity would kick in, I'd crack and end up killing myself or dying in my own mental explosion (read: doing something stupid once insane and dying, e.g. jumping off a cliff).

That is the most depressing post I have ever made.
LOL... this is the best reply I've had to one of my threads. Well done.

I believe you deserve this:

Zomg double post. Anyway... good responses so far. Although I notice a very regular trend of "Kill myself" going on. Really? A very depressing bunch aren't ya? Sounds like many of us already have tendencies towards suicide before I even brought it up. lol.

Loot.

Once i have the basics like Food, Shelter, and Electricity, i would continue living.
I might even set up fake people like in I Am Legend.
But i would not give up.
