The
last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock on the door.
He didn't bother answering it. It wasn’t as if he was surprised by the
knock, it came every week around this time. It also didn’t matter if he
opened it; the knock was just an illusion
of privacy. If he didn’t let his handler in, the handler would just use
his own keys. There was another knock, this one more impatient. The
last man on Earth sighed and went to answer it.
“Feeding
time.” A voice on the other side of the door stated, and thrust a box
of nutrient pouches and other treats into the man’s arms. The last man
on Earth shut the door, and set the box down. He went back to his couch
and to his daydreaming of a time when the Earth was full of humans, and
not ruled by an alien race from the thirteenth galaxy.
