| Summary | "The Last Supper" by T. D. Hamm is a science fiction short story written in the early 1950s. The narrative unfolds in a post-apocalyptic setting where the remnants of humanity are struggling for survival after a cataclysmic event has drastically altered the Earth. The story explores themes of desperation, survival, and the morally complex choices individuals must make in extreme circumstances. In the tale, the protagonist Guldran, driven by a mix of anthropological desire and survival instinct, pursues a woman and her child who represent the last hope for humanity's continuation. As he races through a treacherous landscape marked by blizzards and peril, he reflects on the urgent mandate from his crew to capture these final humans for the sake of repopulation. However, the situation takes a dark turn when Guldran, blinded by ambition and desperation, falls into a trap set by the very beings he sought to save. The story culminates in a chilling revelation that the last woman on earth sees him as mere "food," illustrating the harsh reality and brutal instincts that can arise in a fight for survival.
