PLOT: After a sudden apocalyptic catastrophe, Tomoko Kuroki finds herself the last remaining human left on Earth.

CHAPTER ONE

"Strange…"

"It's been more than two months since I've seen another living soul…"

Tomoko Kuroki, a 15 year-old Japanese High-School girl, sat alone in what was once her busy, bustling classroom. She occupied a chair in the rear-most row next to the window peering outside. There wasn't much to look at through the windows anymore, and while the desk had been hers before all this happened, Tomoko felt at ease.

It started out just like any other morning; except that particular Monday was her first Monday of High-School classes.

Her first day as a real HSG.

She rose up in her bed. The (rather sweat-soaked) yellow comforter fell and bunched around her waist. Her alarm-clock read "6:00AM" and for some reason did not go off. Whatever, Tomoko thought. She was just glad she wasn't going to be late for her very first day of school. Most mornings, or at least many mornings, Tomoko felt like a zombie risen from the grave subsequent to waking up. Eagerly, she threw back the covers, threw her legs out, and practically jumped up.

After brushing her teeth, combing her hair and narrowly deciding against a shower (she didn't need one quite yet) she rushed down to the kitchen table to get some breakfast.

Weird, her brother, or even her mother for that matter were not there. Were they still asleep? As concerned as Tomoko was, she could not afford to waste on this very important morning.

Her breakfast seemed…different, off somehow. As tasty as it may have been, it left an empty hole in her stomach. Bro and mom still were nowhere to be found. What were they doing? It was Monday morning; they should be up and at 'em by now. Tomoko almost considered going back upstairs to check on them, but school was going to start in 30 minutes, and it took her a good 15 to walk there, so she had better get going.

"Bye, mom! Bye bro!" Tomoko gaily called into her seemingly empty house before closing the door and strolling off.
