Drabble Challenge #121

Prompt: drive

“What is this?” Met pulled a clanky, plastic-wrapped object out of the sand.

“Some sort of mechanical artifact,” Lou replied, unhelpfully.

“I know THAT! What did it DO?”

Lou took it, dusting it off. “Pretty sure it’s a drive.”

Met looked at him blankly.

“To a computer...?”

Met looked incredulous.

“Computers used to be physical.”

“What?”

“You didn’t pass Ancient History, did you? You might have a find. You could be famous! It might still work.”

Lou held the device up to his neural link, the little icon of a file appearing...opening...it read:

YE GODS! Child of Light.
