The Tram Driver Who Got Off
She left her cap on the seat. The tram, polite as ever, continued to the next stop without her.
«It's gonna be a great day, motherfuckers!» Forty minutes later, Leo Tasara is the only person alive on Earth.
Twenty-two-year-old Leo Tasara woke up at eight am, as usual, put on some Edvard Grieg, and jumped under the shower.
“It’s gonna be a great day, motherfuckers!” he shouted as he waltzed to the music, creaming himself up with lotion.
His day was to begin with a science and society class on the history of computing, followed by an inspiring group field trip to a few Berlin ceramics stores. However, Leo was most excited about lunch. He was meeting up with a friend who had just returned from a “spectacular” exchange semester in Silicon Valley.
A few moments later, he was shouting at his neighbour’s door. “Amir, dude, are you coming or what?” There was no answer. Today was probably one of those days where weed was in and people and school were out.
Finished, Leo walked out into the most bizarre day of his life thus far.
You wake up one morning in Berlin and find everyone else on Earth dead. What’s your next move?
