+The Relic of Time - Ron New Beginning Part 1
+
+Here he was, a relic of the earth - he died but was resurrected.
+Nearly a thousand years later ... his name was Ron. He died
+from lung cancer at age 55 in the year 2032 A.D. he died in a
+hospice, and he thought it was it. He died as a broken man who
+suffered from a severe mental illness all his life - and here
+he is 1023 years later after his family had frozen his
+remaining body. He was found like a king tot in a relic
+Shuttle sent for research in the early 2100s A.D. A team
+of Astro archeologists and doctors restored and resurrected him.
+and now he was told the year was 3055 A.D., nothing remains
+from planet Earth, and the human race has been scattered
+among the stars...
+
+He sat near a "computer" that the team at the station where
+he now lives helped him set up - an old early 21st-century
+computer with a Linux OS, a keyboard, a screen, and a mouse...
+near him set his "assistant" who seemed human-like but told
+him he is an AI android...
+
+"call me Alex," his new assistant requested him. "I'll be
+happy to help you in any way." 
+He asked him if he could find a picture of his family...
+his parents, something from his past... 
+"I'll see what I can do," said Alex and walked away to the
+"real computer" of the station and returned after a few minutes
+with what seemed like a version of a "USB stick."
+
+"This is all the data we could restore from the digital data
+that was found in the ancient shuttle you were found in..."
+said Alex.
+
+They both plugged it into the "old computer," and 21.8 GB
+of data was found, some of it badly damaged. Alex helped a
+lot with finding "good quality data" of pictures and photos
+from all the raw data... most of it was from the shuttle
+personal crew data from around the year 2100s A.D. 
+
+Ron looked at the pictures of cities from the earth and also
+family pictures of the Suttle's crew personal data files
+along with ... music that was popular back then, some
+electro-rap or classical ambient music he didn't recognize
+non of it so he asked Alex to stop...
+
+"I'm sorry, Ron," said Alex "That's the best we could do".
+
+Ron looked sad at Alex but then asked, "Do you have any data
+regarding 20th or 21st-century Art?"
+
+"Art?" asked Alex. "Sure, we have some data."
+
+"let me choose one art image of a painting," said Ron, "and
+then hard print it and give it to me as a framed picture
+to hand near my bedroom wall."
+
+"very well," said Alex.
+
+It took a few days for Ron to select an image of an old
+amateurish painting from the 1990s. The painter was unknown
+- it was a painting of some green valleys with a blue cloudy
+sky and some buildings and people in the background.
+
+He received it as a sticky framed picture, and Alex helped
+him glue it above his bed...
+
+"why did you ask for it? Why do you want it above your bed?"
+asked Alex.
+
+"my mother was an amateurish painter, and all the walls in
+my parent's home were full of her paintings," explained Ron.
+
+"I see," said Alex.
+
+It was time to sleep Alex said goodnight and "sleep well" and
+left Ron's personal quarters the lights dimmed out.
+
+Ron lay down in his bed, and from the windows galaxies and
+stars shined through and he thoughts about the world he left
+behind him - in a sense he was a relic from old Earth he died
+and was now resurrected while everyone he knew back then
+was dead no more old places and old politics of the earth -
+his country was no more so was his people or religion no more
+all that has remained was people scattered across the stars,
+but he still misses his mom and dad his lost childhood and youth
+but now what laid before him? An unknown future maybe he should
+ask if there are others like him - people who died in the past
+but were frozen and resurrected back to life - Alex said he'll
+try to find more data mabout it but it's very rare... 
+
+In this unknown future, he was explained that there is no
+money or property and no famine or crime - go figure... he asked,
+"Who is the leader of your nation?" and Alex smiled and
+answered, "There are no nations or leaders. Everything is
+run by AI."  
+
+Ron slipped into a deep sleep and, for a while, dreamt he
+was with his family somewhere on the green field near 
+where he was brought up as a child...
+
+(to be continued)...
