There're 6 million left? I'll load up on guns, find some friends. It's fun to lose and to pretend.
Seriously, my plan would pretty much consist of loading up on self-defense materials, since I have a nagging feeling that people'd get extremely crazy being left behind when so many others died. After that, it'd be a matter of trying to a few others that I can grow to trust and living out my life in some sunny clime, stockpiling as much of human culture that I can.
Now, if I were truly the last person on Earth, and I knew it, I'd probably try to experience as much of the world as I could. Take in the art, the literature, the environment, the grandiose that was civilization, and, with that still fresh in my mind, go out in a blaze of glory. I'm not however, completely sold on the ending. I could just as well do what I would with people left, but I'm fairly certain that without true human contact for a few years, compiled with the knowledge that I can't find somebody else, I'd decide that I'd just like to go out with one last blast of human dementia and drive a car off an incredible cliff or something equally ridiculous to emphasize humanity and its shortcomings. Keep in mind that I would most likely be insane at this point.
