To whatever or whoever finds this note,

That was it, I stared off in despair as the very last space ship left earth and I wasn’t on it. I was left behind, stranded with whoever didn’t make it on either. They ruined our planet just to leave us all to rot and for what? So they might repeat the same steps on another planet? I pray for whatever planet that may be. My wife, my kids, my brother and his family all made it but I was left as the outlier. Now I sit in my house, on a street that used to be filled with people and passing cars.

Be alone this long has given me time to think about life a little bit more, to enjoy what’s around me. It took a few years but I finally saw the places that I had been meaning to see for so long. The Great Wall, the Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty, they were all beautiful. I know there are others on this planet that probably feel the same as I do, they left a lot of us behind. So many countries that used to be packed are now so sparsely populated.

I’m in the prime of my life but I have no one to share it with, my birthday is gonna be next month, guess I’ll spend it alone. Who am I kidding? This is my curse, I wasn’t a good brother, son, or father. I should’ve been better, I could’ve been better but here I am. I have no one to blame but myself for the situation I’m in now. They aren’t coming back, if they did it wouldn’t be in my lifetime.

By that point they’d have probably built a whole new society in some distant galaxy far, far away. I’m sorry Sandra, I’m sorry Michael, I’m sorry Brad, you were all my family and I took you for granted. I can’t do anything about it now but I wish I could’ve been there for all of you. My rations are running low so I’ll have to try and scavenge for more. There’s not enough food here anymore, I’ll just starve sooner or later.

I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry
