Ali - a short story

 Ali (Fiction 101 Series)

She sat in the dark.

In the arcade after hours, she powered down to recharge. During this time, she traveled around the world and saw all the advancements of mankind. And wars. And unification. And famine. And the first landing on Mars and then Titan. She traveled to her home planet and beyond – eventually to another galaxy. She witnessed the rise and fall of many kingdoms. Then her recharge cycle ended.

Saturday morning came and the arcade opened. Boys and girls flooded inside. It was time to insert coin and play again. The Coors calendar on the wall read, August 1982.
