The idea of being the last person alive on Earth is really the stuff of nightmares, and one simulation posted on TikTok gives everyone a glimpse into what it'd truly be like to be alone in 2087.
Simulations give us a glimpse into situations that would either be impossible or incredibly undesirable, ranging from the horrors of a 'euthanasia coaster' designed to kill its riders to showing what it'd be like to be swallowed by a black hole.
Nightmares of a futuristic apocalypse or doomsday scenario is something nobody would like to find themselves in, yet one TikTok user has given us an idea of what it'd actually be like in a 'horrifying' recreation.

Shared by Time Traveller POV, an AI-generated video shows a first-person look at what it'd be like to wake up as the last person on Earth all the way in the distant future of 2087.

Overgrown wildlife, decaying buildings, and even the classic abandoned fairground - all more than enough to keep you up at night!
There's even sight of an abandoned McDonald's restaurant, although they've either changed their logo and name in the 62 years between now and then or we're seeing a classic AI mistake in action.
The clip ends with a classic horror story cliche - the ringing of a phone. You thought that you were the last person alive, so then who's that on the other end? That's something that many in the comments found very creepy, and it would definitely send shivers down your spine if it did happen to you, even with the hope that you're not the only one left.
Many have also made comparisons to other similar apocalyptic shows, films, and games, with names like The Last of Us, The Walking Dead, and Alice in Borderland repeatedly thrown around in the comments.

One comment even goes as far to wonder if all the animals are OK, as you can typically see birds or even wildlife roaming around fragments of destroyed civilization in similar doomsday worlds.
"I just know that call was about a car's extended warranty" jokes one other user, and it wouldn't be hard to believe that cold callers would still find their way to your phone even if you were the last person on Earth.
Some have pointed out that they'd be alright and that this scenario doesn't scare them as at least you'd get a bit of peace and quiet - although others have indicated that WiFi and electricity are a necessity. Not sure that you'd be afforded such luxuries in such a devastating situation though!
