An unusual Apocalypse Alone

feel free to edit if you want a different start or to set parameters**You’re walking home through Los Angeles. It’s a perfectly normal day. Cars driving along the street, birds in the sky, a jostle of bodies… Then it happens! The man walking too close behind you suddenly impacts with your back almost sending you to the ground. and he’s not alone. As you rise to your feet you see it. That elderly man, slumped messily against his walker. That mother with her two kids - even stranger since while the mother has slumped the two children have vanished only leaving behind everything they had on them at the moment it changed. it’s messy. Something abruptly hits the top of your head. As it falls you look to see it’s a bird. Every car has stopped abruptly and at a glance you can tell they’ve all had their handbrakes put on and been put in park. You realise planes and helicopters would realistically stop the same way but being airborne would crash land. The pattern of whatever’s happened becomes clear. everyone under 18 years old vanishes leaving their things behind. everyone else faints completely where they are whatever the consequences like they abruptly fell asleep. Vehicles have all put their handbrake and park on and had the ignition turned off, keys still in the vehicles. Birds fainted and couldn’t stay airborne. As you look around you see a dog that is also fainted, and fish floating on the water somewhere. Somehow you’re unaffected in a very strange world. There might be other survivors. However getting out of the city will be a logistical nightmare, and there’ll be explosions, hazards from things. if a chef fainted onto a gas burner the fire probably wouldn’t have stopped so you’ll have to move very soon. At least you have a lot of materials from everything left behind to start a new life… before the food and things spoil at least...
