Pretty nice. Quick read, nothing extraneous.

:D dat typo.
Glad you liked!
Out of the 30 or so people who have read this story, you are the first to catch that very awkward typo: thank you!
Edit: one thing I do need help on is a title. Gravedigger gives it away, and I'm at a loss of what else fits.
Cutely done. I'd suggest making the title a riff on the beginning rather than the end, like "The Luckiest Man (Left) on Earth".
I like the title, stolen!
I enjoyed waking up to this little read. By itself, it's a nice morsel of food-for-thought, but if you ever decided to expand upon it, color me interested. Well done.
