I look left then right,
No one just empty streets,
I look again,
Left To right,
Still no one,
Just the dark endless pavement.
No one in sight,
No one is there,
What could this be?
An apocalypse,
Just maybe,
But why am I the last one?
What will happen to me,
I'm sitting on the busiest street in the city and no one is found,
So one last time I look left to right and then still nothing in sight,
Wait,
What was that?
It was a loud scream,
I'm not the only one,
Thank you god,
Maybe it was because it is cause the road is shut down. :)

The person that was standing there was almost deaf so they thought every one died and they heard the scream cause it was the only loud noise. And the person didnt see any one cause the street the person was on was actually closed so o one would b on it any way

That was good, I like the end but why was there a scream if only the road was shut down? If you could check out my work it would be greatly appreciated! Please and thanks!
