Flash Fiction: 1950s Add-on

Update: My Precious is back with a new “logic board” at no cost. Happy, happy, joy, joy. Everything important backed up in Dropbox (only lost a handful of pics, so no tears), however, setting up the MacBook from scratch is a real pain in the arse (I’ve started using Time Machine – just in case – consider it a lesson).

The crowds of the theme park pumped with volume. The historical add-on more civilised… No one cared about the prehistoric times. Zana rode the lift. Pressing buttons, rather old school. The experience quirky.

The doors open and she took a quiet seat. She sighed and snuggled into the synthetic interior. Curious, she pulled a lever. The seat jolted back. Peculiar. She pressed a button on the dashboard. A small glass bottle of coke presented itself, complete with a funny tube thing. The label on the coke called it a straw. The watch on her wrist dinged with her purchase.

Relaxed, she peered through the window – bird’s eye view of the 1950s and beyond. Virtual reality is as good as real.
