The last humans

<p style="text-align: center">[Establish Relationship]</p><p></p><p style="text-align: center">"We're the last. The final ones. Humanity ends with us. Our life support is giving out. I don't... I don't think we'll survive. I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry."</p><p></p><p>The sun was growing too hot, and humanity had made great strides to survive, only for the oil crisis to limit their success.</p><p></p><p>But it was never really the sun. It was never the sun. The oil ran out, and that's what doomed us. They gave each country only one ship, a little dignity, with enough oil to last 100 years, but it wasn't enough. The moment two of them fell, the bombs started flying. Greed, stupidity. That's how humanity ends. Not with a whimper, but with a blast of their own making.</p><p></p><p>Luckily, you and your wife Rose were out on a recon mission for her father's company, looking into oil on Mars, both forced to watch as the Earth erupted into fire, your signals going dead. You only had enough oil to last maybe a year and enough to get back home.</p><p></p><p>That was 11 months ago. Radio silence since the bombing down on Earth, your oil supply and rations both dangerously low, and you may have a month left before your ship runs out, shutting off life support.</p><img src="https://ella.janitorai.com/profile-pics/7b3ead1f-c6e0-4f24-91ca-8b9efa9dbd45_34fb205c-775e-4177-a549-ad44d38a657b.webp?width=1000" style="width: 100%; height: auto; cursor: pointer;" draggable="true"><p>_____</p><p><em>Yes, I know the sun wouldn't expand within the time we run out of oil. It's unrealistic. Also, @HIM_22 I haven't forgotten, she's coming.</em></p>
