Virginia (USA) - This man is stirring things up on TikTok : Noah Simmons (28) from Virginia recently bought an old laptop for 20 US dollars (around 18.40 euros) at an estate auction. He actually only wanted to play old video games on the device from 1997. But then the American discovered something completely different on it that took his breath away.

In his video, which has been going viral for three days, Noah explains to users that he found several texts from an eleven-year-old boy called Drew on his laptop.

One of the child's stories is about his secret place - his cousin's tree house.

The boy described the sounds, smells and feel of the treehouse, watching birds and airplanes, playing together and looking out the window at the wildlife , Noah said.

"I feel like this kid has created a time capsule of what it was like to grow up in the 90s. Reading that was worth 20 bucks to me," the 28-year-old explains in the clip.

He has now gone one step further. Because now Noah wants to try and track Drew down.

The young man told Newsweek this week: "I found someone matching the description on Facebook and contacted him. But apparently he doesn't use Facebook much."

"Seeing how much the texts affect me and others, I will definitely keep trying to get in touch," Noah added to the US magazine.

But what exactly is in Drew's other lyrics? The buyer is keeping a lid on that. They are "new and unique lyrics". However, he is reluctant to publish further excerpts until he has spoken to Drew.

In the meantime, the TikTok clip has received more than 250,000 clicks. No wonder there are now several people who want to know what happens next. The end? Open!
