Everyone is dead?
Yes. Everyone is dead dave.
Even Chris?
Yes. Chris is dead EVERYONE IS DEAD DAVE.
What about Jack?
Jack's dead too. They're all dead. Everyone is dead. Everyone is dead, Dave.
So, you're trying to say, everyone is dead?
I don't really know... slow decline into insanity seems popular, I might try that. I'd probably end up doing something amazingly stupid out of sheer boredom, thus dying.

Fuck a chimp.
Seriously, my progression would go something like this:
- drive into town, find a camper, load as many supplies as I can think of (nonperishable food, bottled water, firearms, camping gear, first-aid, cleaning and toiletry, clothes, etc.)
- hit the bookstore and grab every reference book I might conceivably need because my own ignorance is probably the greatest threat to my continued existence
- relocate and burn all of the bodies in my immediate surroundings so I'm not subject to the unbearable stench or threat of sickness while planning my next course of action
- draw up travel plans heading south and leave the very next day, because a) I can't stay up north and b) travel gives me a better chance to find any other survivors
- load an off-road motor bike or regular mountain bike because there's at least a chance the camper becomes unusable (breaks down, runs out of road, etc.)
- on my way out of town, I would hit up the nearest area with high population density to quickly scan for any survivors/companions while double-checking for friends/family
I would not attempt to maintain any utilities. For starters, it's kind of a fool's errand when you live in a major city. Secondably, it's a waste of time if I'm going to leave anyways.
I would also not kill myself. I'm incapable of the act, for the most part. The only circumstance that would prompt me to end my own life is the absolute certainty of a far more painful and prolonged death. No, a shitty life doesn't count. I'm talking about mutilation at the hands of cannibals.

This I a little daydream I have sometimes.
1)I would drive into the city with tanks and start filling up with petrol to store in my garage.
2)Then I would go to the fishing shop on Paddy's street and get all the guns and ammo I could find.
3)I know that the ESB would explode without maintenance so I would have to quickly search the internet before anything happened to it and
....find out how to make generators and whatnot.
4)Then I would go into my town and pick up some freezers from the stores and stock them all up with as much food as I can. Maybe fill 3
....rooms with freezers of food. And of course water.
5)If I could somehow work out how to make some sort of radio broadcaster thing and set up loudspeakers in surrounding towns I would send
...out a survivor message every day like in I am legend.
6)Then I would go to Waterstone's and bring all the books home with me
I shall edit if I think of anything else...

I think I'd probably learn to program and run all of the city's utilities, by the way, is this everyone in the city or everyone in the world dead at once?
No humans = No plumbing, no electricity, no working refridgerators or stoves, no AC or heat. There's no one to prevent forest animals from entering the city & without hunters or farmers; animals willskyrocket in population & take over.
WOULD DO:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would actually go outside & forge in stores. Can't be concidered stealing if you're the only human left.
After everything rotted, I'd live primaritly off canned food, which is already precooked.
Since everything is rotting, I'd need a noseplug & a bat & gun to rend off starving dogs & wild animals attracted to the rotting food smells. Anything I kill defending myself will be cooked in a pot on a pile of coals & kindling over a bed of rocks surrounded by sand, lit with matches. (Don't want to risk starting any fires). The coals will then be smothered in either sand or rain.
Without internet or TV, I would be entertained by CDs (battery-powered radios) & books/magazines/comics.
Showers aren't a problem; it's always raining where I live.
I'd be thankfull that I'm already an experience house hermit who prefurs the company of animals over people, & that I don't live in an area that will flood when the pumps shut down (like NY).
Stock up on bottled water, bug repellant, blankets, battery-powered fans, flashlights, batteries, canned goods, other nonparishable foods, guns, a fly swatter, a tennis racket as a lightweight swinging weapon, milkbones or tennis balls to distract dogs, food for outdoor cats & whatever I decide to keep indoors, reading materials, & toilet paper.
I'd break into houses & petshops & free any caged animals I find. Dealing with tanked lobsters, fish, crabs, & hermit crabs ould be difficult, but a good way to pass the time every day.
-----------------------------------
WOULD NOT DO:
-----------------------------------
*Cry or panic. I've been on medications that have left me emotionally bankrupt as a side effect.
*Kill myself.
*Look for other survivors; hell, I'd probably get all teritorial & threaten to shoot them.
*Road trip. I like my house & I like my stuff. I also never bothered to learn how to drive.

seriously, I would search for survivors and try to survive for as long a possible.
In complete wackyness, I would run around town naked.

I spit on your petty clothing laws, extinct human race! Who doesn't want to see whose junk now, huh? Oh that's right, you're all dead!
Considering I live on a small island and have no boating skills what-so-ever i'd say im pretty screwed.
I guess I would stock up on perishables and smoke some meat for jerky and then get a car and see if I can find any survivors (and animals, i'd breed them for food regardless of what animal it is) on the island then i'd survive for the time being on what is on the island, if I run out of food I would leave the island and see if I can find more survivors to bring back considering an island is a pretty good place to hold a survivor colony. Id also early on find a radio station and begin broadcasting telling survivors where to meet me but not meet me where I am because they could be nut jobs.
Guess i'd get a weapon just in case I need to defend myself at any time.
