living soul
A single being
A living soul is any person at all, used for emphasis in negative constructions: There wasn't a living soul in sight, I haven't told a living soul.
The phrase stresses complete absence or total secrecy—not merely "no one" but emphatically no one whatsoever.
Occasionally appears in affirmative sentences meaning any human being: every living soul on earth.
