Instruction: What is it like being alone in the world after an apocolypse?

Response: I had always imagined the world would be in chaos or destruction. However, it's the same, just that there are no people. It's eerily quiet. Books are now the only source of "human connection" I have. I've never been much of a reader, but I anticipate much of my "free time" will be spent reading. I'm also quickly learning how much I relied on others. I knew I relied on others to do many things like farming, electricity, etc., but it goes much deeper and further than that.
