Most often when everything feels so quiet in the daytime or when there is no electricity in the nighttime and everything is as silent as a graveyard, I sometimes feel, “What if this silence remains like this forever and there is no sound again? What if I am the only one left on earth and all the rest of the people just disappeared like in those sci-fi movies?.
And what came to my mind next was going out of my house and maybe running round the street without any disturbance and driving a car without any police stopping me or being held in traffic for hours. Then entering different boutiques and malls to pick clothes, shoes, and foodstuffs. That sounds like a total freedom but a very empty one.
That joy and freedom will wear off in due time because what is life without our loved ones who we can share gifts and moments with? Just imagine preparing a large pot of Nigerian jollof rice like Hilda Bacci and there are no friends and family to share a plate with and gist on what is going on and laugh while we eat, nobody to check up on me when I am down.
I do not know about the rest of the people, but in my family and let me say my environment, we live as a family, doing things together as one. And even when we go out, we show respect towards one another even though we might not really know eachother. And like I said earlier, if I am the only one left in this world, it will be nothing else but a total graveyard because I myself do not like noise.

This time around, surviving will not even be the most difficult part because there will be enough shelters, water, and even food. But the most difficult aspect of being left alone is feeling so lonely because the quietness that will be reoccurring will be hitting me louder than when hunger strikes.
Who is going to motivate me when I feel so down? Who is going to attend to my medical needs? Who is going to guide me back on the right path when I am going astray? And who will give me a thumbs-up and say, “You are doing well, my boy”?
Maybe I would just do like Moses and inscribe letters on the stone everywhere I go for others to read, hoping some other creatures might visit our world someday and they will realize that I stayed alone, laughed alone, sang alone, and, at the same time, danced to my music alone with my funny voice.
But to be sincere here, even though I do not like interacting that much, when I am the only one left alone in this world, I am very sure that I might not survive that long because it is going to feel like a solitary prison, which in the real sense will drive me crazy because as humans, we need interaction and connection to survive, and without that, there is going to be a great hollow.
Thank you for reading.

Yeah I agree with you. In as much as we now have access to everything from anywhere, the fact that we're alone in it can't make the good feelings and survival last long
Exactly 💯💯
I don’t think you would feel it that much. It seems like you have been practicing for that day. You are always inside.
Lol...inside but interesting with people.
But this one, nobody, just me alone.. someone will run mad now
I think I will also enter peoples houses to get the feeling of braking and stealing 😂
But then what's the use, no one to catch me.
For the right path, you are just in a path, I doubt there will be right and wrong anymore because it's just you, who do yo want to offend again
One might enjoy been alone for a while but the feeling of not having people around would definitely set in
