"… This isn't… what I expected."
The ship landed smoothly, we got an identity check at the reception desk, paid the entrance fee and got out to the street.
Up to this point everything was automated; slid your identity card here, get a retina scan over there, hold your smartphone over this to pay, everything was done with no human –or any other alien- interaction.
That's why the moment we exited the docks where we left the ship, which apparently is a private aria for each one unlike what you would expect from a space ship ports –or normal ship ports-, the shock came to me with a more disappointed feeling than it should for someone who is out on his first interstellar trip.

Sector twenty one, planet Rooster, Gram city, Seven.If I had to say myself, with how we stood right now back to back with Lilia having just finishing that swing… no, there is something missing… okay, now it's perfect.I put both hands in my pockets, completing the scene I had in mind. A really badass scene. The blob guy swung at me with his weapon, but compared to the experienced warrior that is Lilia his movements felt way too slow.The bracers on her arms activated in synch with her fast movements and before the blob guy noticed his sword like weapon had already shattered not leaving as much as a scratch on the gauntlet’s surface.Even as a spear wielder Lilia knew more than well how to hit someone with her fists, and going for that ugly face was a choice anyone w
Last man on earth when there is no earth? Ch 3.5
The crowd made it easy for us to pass, splitting up and making a way as I let my extraordinarily beautiful wife take the lead. It was impossible to count how many of the bystanders –both males and females- had fallen for Lilia as she confidently walked by. I on the other hand had to deal with the glares stabbing me like daggers as some envied me for being able to serve such an angel –my position as her aid was set in stone by now- and the rest wondering what the hell I am.We chose one of the second rate hotels to stay in. It was a choice we both agreed on as anything above would be too luxurious for us to relax in. To my surprise though the place we arrived at looked like a five star hotel.The people walking around were dressed well and reeked of wealth. It was then when I remembered that Lilia is the daughter of the wealthiest family on her
Last man on earth when there is no earth? Chapter 04: First date.
Sector twenty one, Planet Rooster, gram city, Seven.This is probably something I had to discuss with my clingy ghost friend a while ago. I don’t know why I kept delaying it until now.When we were riding on the way to this planet I used the ship’s shower which was a small cylinder not larger than the one on Lilia's, because of that all Iris had to do was stand outside until I was done washing. But now that we are in this hotel, the same one we choose based on the fact that it's registered as a second rate lodging, it somehow lit a light bulb in my head.The toilet had a separated door -glad I was able to learn how to use it without help- and the bathing area was behind a second one on the opposite wall. Though It’s only half the size of the bedroom it’s still quite large.
Last man on earth when there is no earth? Ch 4.2
After being hurried by Iris to get done, I spent less than ten minutes showering then got out. I wore the change of clothes I usually sleep in then waited for the ones I took off to clean and dry.Soon after we left to find a place to get breakfast in and for the second time I noticed the thing that bothered me ever since we got to this planet; the crowds of Zesioniens moving around."Is something wrong?" Asked Lilia, sitting across on the opposite side of the table.I let out a long sigh prompting Lilia to ask me that question, and while the answer was obvious I didn't know the best words to put it in."Nothing, really." I answered waving my hand weakly. "It's just... this place is nothing like I had in mind."While it
Last man on earth when there is no earth? Ch 4.3
Sector twenty one, planet Rooster, Gram city, Seven.Okay, maybe I have been a little too quick in jumping to conclusions; this is an alien planet after all. Although the shopping area was what I may describe as an oversized mall, maybe five or six times the size of any large mall with thousands of shops occupying more space than needed, on the display windows none of the objects I saw made any sense in the freaking least, except for the mannequins dressed in clothes.Like, what is that thing? What does it even do? I can't even read its name or price![That's a vase.] Said Iris. I started to notice her ears twitch a little every time she has something to tell.You gotta be kidding right? How in

Sector twenty one, planet Rooster, Gram city, Seven. "BEAUUUUUTIFUL!!!! GORGEOUS!!! UNBELIEVEBAL!!!!" "Umu, we will take it." "YES, YES! Thank you!" Said the shop owner, gasping for air while a huge grin let droll leak from her mouth. She was a Zesionien female, shorter than Lilia with a really slim body. She has short dark red hair and a pair of glasses she constantly tries to keep in place. "P-p-p-please… hah… try this too… hah…" She ran around the shop in a frenzy gathering the best of her works, and the one going through all the trouble of trying them on was Lilia. "Eh!?… but…" Lilia looked my way asking for rescue. At the moment she is wearing a
Last man on earth when there is no earth? Ch 4.5
Looking at it now that I'm alone, I can't shake the uneasiness caused by the starry night sky still being visible even with all the illumination in this urban street.It’s meaningless to think about it since I won’t really understand even if someone gave me a detailed scientific explanation, but as I wait for Lilia to finish shopping I had to keep my mind busy or I would start thinking about the blue haired guy. well, at least half of that is true.Remember when I said that the shop Lilia wanted to visit might be one guys have nothing to do with? Well turns out it's a lingerie shop.After the small conflict inside me settled I decided to wait outside, mainly because all of the people inside are females. Something struck me as strange was the multiplicity of races there, even though it's supposed to be a
Last man on earth when there is no earth? Ch 4.6
Sector twenty one, Planet Rooster, Gram city, Lilia.Sometimes I find myself awakening for no reason. My body tells me I had enough and it's about time I start my day, even if in actuality I didn't sleep that much. I never really considered it a bother, but a rule had to be followed in those occasions; to never go back to sleep once my eyes are open and breaking that rule leads to oversleeping.Today I broke that rule, I then woke up to find out that Seven, who was asleep at my right last time I saw him, was now gone. I overslept. I actually overslept to the point that Seven woke up and left the bed.The faint sound the water made came from the bathroom informing me of his whereabouts.It’s the second time this has happened. I felt frustrated, like I had lost some kind of contest, and w
