Your result for The End of the World as You Know It Test...

The Last Man

60% Immune

There wasn't time to mourn the world, at least, not at the first moment you realized you were immune. You had the right priorities. Bury the infected; move out to the country. There, beneath a lonely cloudless sky, you can start assembling a congregation of suvivors.

Old hatreds have been killed off with the plague, except perhaps that survivalist fear of strangers and maggot-ridden corpses. With a heavy heart, you know exactly what's in store for your world. You read The Stand, once, and a tattered copy of Earth Abides still hangs out on your bookshelf, back at your old place in the city you used to live.

Nature has long since reclaimed most of man's old haunts, and though your children live on in ignorance of the old ways, you still feel a nostalgic ache for the days when paper money still meant something.

Looking back on your life, you realize how lucky you were, if at the sake of the world. If the bombs had dropped, the aliens invaded or the dead come back to some cruel parody of life, more people would have survived --- but you wouldn't have.

You shrug off this feeling. It's time for bed, anyway.
