An [[{{Episodes}} episode]] of a show where a main character wakes in the morning to find everyone but themselves has vanished.

Sometimes the episode revolves around the character trying to find everyone, other times it may be them just enjoying the benefits of having a world to themselves, sometimes will have the character [[SanitySlippage slowly go insane due to their solitude]]. Typically something will happen at the end to make everyone reappear, whether it be the remaining character rescues them from a kidnapper, it turns out to be AllJustADream, or that everyone just comes back from a bus. Almost always has the remaining character not aware of where anyone went or what happened to them. If it turns out everyone is fully dead and won't come back fine at the end, then it would cross with SoleSurvivor. In extreme cases where the entire species or planet is gone, it would also mesh with LastOfHisKind. The remaining character would also be a GenocideSurvivor if the reason everyone is gone is because they were murdered, and in those cases it could mesh with EverybodysDeadDave. By the nature of this trope, it always exists alongside either GhostTown or GhostCity, and possibly even GhostPlanet in extreme examples. It also goes without saying that the main character is then the MayorOfAGhostTown. Will sometimes have the remaining character drop an ItsQuietTooQuiet. Usually an episode of a cartoon or show or issue of a comic, but does not always need to be.

* ''Series/ThePrisoner'' has the episode ''Many Happy Returns'' where Number Six wakes up not only to find the village deserted, but all the utilities shut off as well.

[[ImpossiblyMundaneExplanation Summer holiday]]. Either no one informed Number Six, he was exempt, or his escape attempt was meant to be his vacation.
