Henry was eating dinner when he heard the knock. He put down his fork and opened the door. A beautiful young woman stood in the doorway.
"Can I help you?' Henry asked. The young woman smiled "May I come in?" she asked. Henry shrugged and opened the door wider. The woman came in bringing the scent of perfume with her. He also noticed that she was wearing a very revealing dress.
The woman looked around his cabin with distaste. It was a bit messy, but Henry liked it. "Did you hear about what happened?" she asked. Henry nodded. He had heard the news about the epidemic for months on his shortwave radio. A few weeks before all transmissions had stopped, and Henry had surmised the rest. "It's possible we are the last people on Earth." the woman said. Henry shrugged "maybe." He was starting to get hungry again.
"So don't you think we have an obligation to repopulate the Earth Adam and Eve and all that?" The woman said impatiently. Henry thought about it for a moment. "Nah, I'm good." he said.
The woman left in a huff and Henry went back to eating his dinner, The beans were sure tasty.
