After all, there is no one left...

I woke up again. Same place, same pose. Same date. It was already like Groundhog Day. There, too, a man lived through one day several times. He even died. But eventually he returned. What if you try to survive one day? Maybe I’ll come back. It still doesn’t look like a movie. There were people there. There was no such emptiness. I firmly decided to wait out this day. Although… I’ve already done this. After all, I survived the first day! And I saw the twenty-seventh on the calendar… And I didn’t return. But still I decided to repeat my experience. Maybe it will work out after all! I decided to take a walk. I didn’t have many days off. Therefore, I rarely went out just for a walk. But I knew the city like the back of my hand. That’s the kind of work. Loneliness was pressing. Every day I saw hundreds of faces, heard conversations, it all seemed routine. And now this was not enough. I tried to cheer myself up. I imagined how I would wake up surrounded by my wife and daughter on my birthday, how we would eat cake, how we would go for a walk. The sound of a siren tore me out of my pleasant thoughts. What’s happened? Nothing like this has ever happened before! And the screeching did not stop. I got scared, although I was not the faint of heart, and ran home. As soon as I crossed the threshold of the house and slammed the door, the noise stopped. I dared to go out again. But as soon as I walked a few tens of meters, the howling began again. Moreover, I could not find the source of the noise. It couldn’t have come from thin air! Or could he? Deciding not to risk it again, I sat down in the living room. Turned on the TV. Only one channel worked, “Animal World”. There was a program about the deep-sea inhabitants of the Pacific Ocean. Reassured, I left the TV on in the background and went to the kitchen to make myself lunch. Fried potatoes seemed like the ideal option for these conditions. I took a full plate and tray and went into the living room. Sitting down on a soft sofa, I began to eat, looking at the screen. Suddenly everything went quiet. I raised my head without chewing the potato and choked. A fanged monster was looking at me from the screen. I thanked fate that it couldn’t get me here. The sound of breaking glass was heard. I looked sharply towards the TV and almost fainted. The werewolf stood in my room, baring his teeth. I pressed myself into the sofa, and the monster slowly approached me. It was about to tear me apart, when suddenly… It disappeared. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Here it was standing in front of me, and now the TV screen is intact, and the transmission is still going on. I was wondering if I was imagining this?! But I couldn’t answer myself exactly. Today’s coincidences haunted me. This howl, then the monster… Why didn’t this happen before? An inhuman fatigue came over me. I finished my meal with difficulty, made my way to the kitchen, washed the plate, made it to the bedroom, although I was ready to collapse right on the floor, lay down, and my consciousness was enveloped in darkness.
