I'll end it:
The wind tossed an empty can on the door. End.

"The last man on earth sat alone in a room.
There was a knock on the door...."


And then he awoke from his dream. He was still the last man on earth.

This would actually make a good forum game.

Things other then people can knock you know.

So either an animal, or an object knocked agasint it by some force, made the knock.

Can you think of a non-scientific explanation for the man being the last man on earth?

And that man killing everyone else in the world still has some scientific explanation behind it.

That isn't necessarily sci-fi. An illegal alien could set off a bomb. In fact, it's not even fiction, really. I'm sure it's happened before.

You guys are stupid. It was a woman knocking on his door, you said he was the last man alive there must be plenty of women around and he is just the only man, the stupid this is he locked himself up in a room.
