You did a good job building and capturing emotion as well as mystery. I enjoyed the story and its open ending.

I actually tried to look up the code only to realize that you answered it in the comments below. I don't know if intentional or not, but I took the code (SOS) and the main character stating that he/she was the only one left in a literal manner which led me to conclude that a ghost/spirit left behind by the flash has been following him/her (this might explain why the main character could never see anyone when turning around).

It's a sad and somewhat creepy story. The main character has already dealt with skeletons/ash/empty structures, but opening the door and seeing a ghost would be the final way that the main character would be force to deal with death itself.

I may have read to far into things, but it came across as a deep story.
