The journey is coming to an end. The survivors now have to make a choice and control their fate. This is no different than any other moment in their lives. How many will pick the right choice and how many will will seal their fate?

Everyone saw @erodedthoughts in a different set of eyes. They all formed their own opinions about who he was and where he came from, many even had a dream where they were told who he was and experienced things with him. A select few also killed or lost him. None of this happened, each one has been chosen for this test. They have all been sleeping since the single passenger shuttle landed and that only happened 13 minutes ago. 

One by one the survivors woke up from their dream state and started to gather around the camp fire @eroded thoughts had built. They each realized that they were also alone, they had imagined that they had survived with a selected group of friends and supplies. They realized that including @erodedthoughts the entire Earths population was only 8 survivors.

These were the words the stranger spoke:

I am Eroded, I have just returned to Earth after being sent into isolation in space. The EMP that you experienced knocked the controls out on my ship and caused me to free fall back to the planet. I have been trapped there in stasis since 2017. I was sentenced to spend my final days in isolation due to the visions I saw for the future of our planet. Intelligent men called me crazy and banished me from the Earth.  I am very lucky to be alive and very saddened to find that so few of you survived. I had seen a vision of a much larger group surviving but as is the basis of all visions, every action changes the outcome of the future.

I guess it had to be this way in order for you all to be given the final choice in this life. So select your outcome.
