I recently discovered Flash Fiction and I'm somewhat enamored with the idea. So this is my first try at Flash Fiction. I was successful in paring it down to the shortest length it needed to cram in all of the elements I wanted to include, but this made it too short for the Christmas Day in 2050 Contest, not to mention it's not a journal entry. And it has more dialog than any of the Flash Fiction I've read so far... but I'm posting it anyway.
Feedback is encouraged!
Enjoy!

After a time the technician asked "Would you ever consent to digitizing your memories and personality for the benefit of the human race?"
"Oh, I don't know, Doc, I mean, maybe one day such a technology will exist, but I don't know that I would ever be willing to consent to something like that."
"You might be surprised," the technician sighed.
"What was that, Doc?"
"Nothing, granddad, Merry Christmas," and then powered down the computer and finished filling out the report.
