We don't have a TV anymore. Actually, we haven't had any devices or gadgets for years. We don't have electricity anyway. We don't have co-workers, or relatives or neighbors. We don't have friends or foes. We don't have clothes or anyone to hide from. It is just us on the entire Earth. It is empty and it is all a desert. We don't have children, we don't have parents, we don't even have hair on our heads, or teeth in our mouths. We don't have food nor water to drink. We have eight million dollars, someone said, and they all dropped dead because he had breathed in the last lungful of oxygen.
