[ WP ] A child is playing in the woods and stumbles upon a piece of 'Old Earth ' technology , managing accidentally to turn it back on ...

I stomped out of camp. I was quite the little wagger when I was a kid, and being forced to go camping was n't going to change that. My mother called after me but I was too angry. I heard my father tell her to leave me to cool off and sneered to myself. 
 I started out just following the path but as I came around a bend I saw something glinting in the sunlight between the trees. It was impossible to tell what it was from the trail and, being a city kid I was more afraid of getting dived than any animal, so I went to take a look. 
 It took me a while to find what I had seen the light reflecting off of, a piece of metal, part of an old solar cell rig. For a moment I forgot my anger as I started wondering how it had ended up out there. Who would put a sloar panel under a tree? How long had it been there? I wiped away the debris and looked at it closer. 
 I almost bit my tongue off when I fell through the roof. I was actually knocked out for a moment. When I came to, I looked around and found myself in another time. There were DVDs on the shelves, and a TV on the wall. There was a computer, an actual desktop box, sitting on the desk. I poked at it but it was dead. 
 Then I saw something I never thought I'd see, an honest to fuck robot. I was just looking around and I accidentally hit something. I jumped when I heard it and whipped around to see this little disk scurrying around on the floor. I almost drained myself. 
 Everybody knows the basics of the war. Blah, blah, Elon Musk. Blah, blah, Alternative Intellect Systems Company. But my great grandfather told me about his own experiences. What he went through? It remains the fuel for my nightmares to this day. 
 So, I grabbed the first thing I saw that I could use as a weapon, some sort of weird stick, thick and heavy on one end with a grip on the other. I grabbed this stick and I just started swinging. I forgot everything else. I knew I had to destroy it before it could replicate. Pff, it was already trying. The thing was sucking up bits of stuff off the floor, probably trying to collect silica. 
 So, I started swinging and did n't stop until it was destroyed. I crushed it again and again until it was just a useless pile of junk. 
 No, I'm not dropping you. I really did. I met the Presider and everything. He thanked me for saving humanity. I'd still have the medal if my younger brother had n't lost it, but you can look it up. I saved us all from the second coming. I'm a fracking hero.
