Sally made sure to keep the window open on her phone when they got home. After the twins went into the backyard to play with their new toys and the baby lay down for her nap, Sally sat on her bed, scrolling through the texts her son exchanged with strangers over the internet.

“Yo, did you see the way that thing went up? Literally lit.”

“Yeah, man. Saw it on Twitch. Never seen a more satisfying light-up in my life.”

“You’re only thirteen.”

“So?”

Sally scratched her head. What did this mean? What was Twitch? What did they mean by “lighting up?”

“Hey,” a new user said further on in the conversation. “Is there a permalink to it?”

A link appeared. Sally was almost afraid to click. Yet she did, didn’t she?

I don’t get it… It was a YouTube link. Yeah, it looked like the game her son played, all the way down to the cartoonish colors and the blocky appearance. But she didn’t recall her son’s hard work going up in flames every few minutes. Weren’t you supposed to stop the fires or discover clever engineering tricks to prevent them from happening? I really should ask him more questions about that game… The furthest Sally went with her interest was responding to her son’s requests to go over and see what he had built. Candace didn’t know much else about it, either. She’d put her hands on her hips and say, “Well, I’ll be. We didn’t have this when I was your age. We played Pong…”

Sally closed out of the video and finished reading the chat.

“Really sweet light-up, man. I’d love to see that in real life.”

“Bruh, not here. You know where to go.”

Sally closed the browser. For good measure, she ran the antivirus. One never knew what the kids were doing to devices those days.
