Oh, you think this is sad, I vaguely remember one with a similar scenario, forget what number it was though...
A crew of foundation personnel were sent to study an anomaly, when something happened. Of the entire group, only a single agent was left unscathed. After recovering his senses, he proceeded to return to the Foundation Site he was assigned to, passing by a small town.
It was a normal place, indistinguishable from any other town you and I have been in, save for the fact that not a single soul was seen as he passed on through.
When he reached the Site, he saw once more that nobody was there, no Scientists, no D-class, not one person in any part of the place. He came to the conclusion that the anomaly has erased all of humanity, and that he must either kill himself, or bring them all back. So far, he has been writing a journal.
In truth, the anomaly has only erased his ability to perceive other people. He could not see, speak to, or even touch his colleagues, despite them seeing him as if it were any other day. Interestingly, the only people the agent could see were those near death. One guy got depressed seeing the agent wandering around the halls, alone with his thoughts, and tried to put a bullet in the poor agent's brain. In the struggle with other foundation personnel, he shot himself, and the agent witnessed the man's last moments.
The site keeps the agent around, letting him wander the halls as they study him, giving him a sort of "itinerary" as a means of preserving his sanity. Will they ever restore his situation to normal?
