RE: Qurator's Mischievous Mondays | Everyone is gone

Saturday morning, at least that's what I believe it to be, I wake up bewildered in an unfamiliar room, I get up cautiously observing the entire area, I see that there are no people around, I slowly walk to the window and observe in distance, no one around, time to leave this unknown place. Using as much caution as possible, I walk through the house towards the street, mission completed successfully, I escaped. When I cross the door, I feel bewildered, a completely unfamiliar place, cars on the streets, but no movement, what is happening? I walk for several hours in all directions and observe everything except people. I focus mentally questioning myself: is it a dream? I died? What place is this? Without answers, I seek guidance from the signs, newspapers are not reliable, there are a variety of them, each with a different date.

I finally find out where I am, New York, but how did I get here? Yesterday I was in Brazil. There's nothing to do, I need answers, I get in a car and head through the streets to my home. Fear takes over me, it's a terribly long journey and there are many dangers on the road, I can already imagine the Mexican border and the presence of drug traffickers crossing between Colombia and Panama. Food won't be a problem, I can get it anywhere, there are no people, but what's happening here? Was it radiation or a nuclear attack? Fear makes me wear a mask for a few days.

Wow, I'm tired, there are no people, I've been traveling for days or weeks, I've already lost track of time, nothing is reliable here, am I really on Earth? Is there anyone else or am I the only one like this? There are many unanswered questions and the lack of someone to talk to is driving me crazy, I'm already talking to myself. One thing is certain, there are more animals on the streets than there should be. I don't know how long it lasted, but I finally arrived in Brazil, finally. Nothing changed, there are no people, there is nothing, it may seem crazy, but the Earth ended up becoming my home, "I am the owner of everything".

When I think I'm the only one, feelings of sadness and joy conflict, what should I do? There's no reason to cry, I didn't do any harm to anyone, I'm going to enjoy what's left of my life. I make the world my personal playground, I enjoy almost everything that exists, at least on the continent I'm on. I would like to explore new continents and find out if there is anyone else in my situation. One woman, who knows, if I am the only living human being it will be the end of humanity, but if there is just one woman left, we can restart everything. I enjoy every second of my life without worrying about the details, but always attentive to the presence of someone else, I ruled out the possibility of going to another continent, as I don't know how to fly a plane, much less a boat. Ultimately, experience my moments and let destiny decide the flow of life.

It's any day, time doesn't make any difference anymore, I go to sleep and when I wake up I'm in a laboratory, sitting in a chair full of wires connected to the helmet on my head, I imagined: everything makes sense now! Looking around I discover that the name of the laboratory is called HIVE, the chamber where I am opens and the scientist @qurator, responsible for this experiment says that everything was a success. I didn't understand anything and he explained: you successfully completed the virtual simulation. The procedure ends when you make one of two choices: give up looking for human life or accept from your heart that you are the only one and that nothing else makes a difference.

I leave the place without understanding anything and later discover that I signed this contract when I was drunk, damn drink!
