Look what I found(Gail Moore) Samual came home very excited after a long day at the learning centre.
“Mum mum look at what I found.“
”That’s weird, I wonder what it is and where exactly did you find it?” Said his mum.
“I found it on the pavement, I wonder how it got there?"

Dad came home and Samual was very excited to show him what he had found.
His dad was perplexed and had a worried look on his face.
Looking at the item and examining it close up, you could see it bothered him.
This circular piece of something with four identical holes right in the centre.

“I think you have found an artefact by the looks of it. Looks like it has little bits of soil in it and there is no soil around here.”
”Wash your hands and do not touch it again” he said in a panicked voice.
Samuel's dad was extremely clever so he thought he had better take heed of what he was saying.

His dad swiped his hand and asked to speak to the authorities.
In less than an hour, the authorities had arrived and removed the item.

Samual couldn’t wait for them to analyse it.
The next day at the learning centre he told everyone about his discovery.
The other children were intrigued and the whole learning centre waited for the results.

Two days passed and the results were in. An official slide appeared on Samual's hand just before it was time to wander home.

The slide read.

Thank you, Samual, for informing us of your find, and I must say a very exciting find it is.
The item you found is, in fact, an artefact and important part of our history.
As you know, approximately 200 years ago our history was lost when 99% of our population on earth was wiped out by a virus. A virus called COVID-19.
After examination and researching the item, we have come to the conclusion that it is called a button. We calculated its age at approximately 200 years old.
Around the time the earth went through it's Covid-19 destructive cycle.

It is an accessory used on clothing to attach one side to the other. We would like to know the exact position you found the item so as we can excavate the area.

Our scientists are keen to get started on this project immediately.

Samual was a hero in his class that day. The next day he took people to where he had found the button.
They decided it hadn’t come from there so left people wondering how it came to be where it was found and what else could they discover.
The button was encased in glass and put on display at a very small museum next to Samual's learning centre.

Every day after he finished at the learning centre Samual walked with his head down looking to see if he could find something else of interest.
He wondered how on earth did they use that button.
There were no pictures, no information, Almost the whole world had been destroyed by COVID-19.

2020
People marched in every corner of the earth. we don’t know what for, but they destroyed everything in their paths so it is said.
They burnt buildings, they murdered each other.
They infected each other. No vaccine was made. Little by little the world collapsed and died.

No one was left that had documented any history. A new race began with the 1% that had lived through the virus.
The little they knew was lost in the past 200 years.
