Ah, that happened to me in a succession fortress once. The last survivor was a child.

That happened to me too.

Except my fort was successful in defeating them.

Said fort lasted about 5 years before It gave into a 5th zombie siege.

I sealed in my entire fort, and the only way in was a tunnel with about 100 atom smashers and weapon traps.

Oh gosh, I finally have a good story to share.

So I got pretty good at this game a long time ago, struggled over the learning curve and all that, but I normally played "normal" embarks, with nothing too crazy or difficult. Most of my fun was using the old DFHack "invasion-now" to summon millions of gobbos for me to senselessly slaughter. But, one day I was reading this forum and some of the classic legacy games and I had the thought "You know, it's about time that I myself tried a hardcore embark." So I genned a new world, loaded it up and plopped by 7 dwarfs down in the middle of the most evil, terrifying area I could find. The right asshole of hell, if you will. The game loaded up, and I pressed "k" and zoomed around, marveling at the "dense creeping eye" and "glumprong tree." Then I hit space and immediately I received an announcement: "It has begun to rain elf blood!" All my dwarves fell to the ground, writhed about for a bit, and then fell unconscious. I laughed, having experienced a new kind of Fun. Then I waited. Still the rain did not let up. Finally, as one might expect, my dwarves all fell to starvation.

It died in about a month or two, but I don't think any of my dwarves got more than three moves in on that game.

My first attempt at making an aboveground fort in a sinister biome was put into a abrupt end when a giant undead tick attacked.  Apparently one attack from such creature can make limbs explode.
