The streets were empty. With no people, you’d expect them to be quiet, but they weren’t. All the noises of things that people hadn’t turned off when everyone suddenly blipped away still rang out, echoing through the empty corridors of buildings. Lucas was pretty sure he was the last one left.
He had been at a crowded store with tons of people when they all just vanished with piles of clothes the only thing left of them. It was like the rapture, except he was the only one left behind. But he odd part was that he was left behind in someone else’s body -- a woman’s body.
He hadn’t bothered to check her name; he didn’t even know why he was still carrying around her purse. It didn’t seem to really matter if he was truly the last one left. He had been walking around for the past several hours, hoping to find someone...anyone. When he finally gave up on that, his next thoughts focused on survival. How long before the food at grocery stores would spoil? Could he find a place running on solar power? What about clean, running water?
