I'm surprised no one mentioned this story.....(this is the shortest short story ever to be written - wiki)
Knock by Fredric Brown
The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock on the door...
but the following is by me - enjoy.
Standing on the ledge ready to dive; regretfully. Rookie’s naive quest for popularity; I pray forgive me. I dive. I frantically swim as I sink like an injured frog. No Lifeguard, I see the stick being immersed; social suicide. Gasping for air, I can hear the jeering but I continue to the other end of the pool.
