Family Business Trip (03/02/2018)

That was like a goddamn movie….

There were 3 brothers,
And they were trying to run a business together, and they tried for a long time,
And 2 of the brothers were doing it the way they thought was right,
and the other brother was saying “We shouldn’t be doing this, it’s not working out.”
“It’s not working out.”

Because the money wasn’t good…. Something was off….
And I don’t know if the customers could sense it or if it was something else….

I have no idea, but I think the other brother felt that their business was actually affecting a certain group of people.
Like hurting them morally or ethically, or something…. Like subtly and unintentionally, but….

Something was happening.

And there was a struggle….

And the 2 brothers said “We can do this, we can figure it out.”

The other brother said “No, we can’t.”

And this went on for years….

And throughout the years, their business gradually started picking up.
They bought new furnishings along the way. They really fixed it up, but…. it just….

Something happened,
And I don’t know what exactly happened, but the business….
I don’t know what it was, but it continued to really hurt that group of people, and the people started to figure it out.

And the 2 brothers that always said “We can figure this out” decided, “No we can’t figure this out anymore, it’s over.”

And at that point, the other brother said “No we CAN do this” ‘cause even though it was hurting those people, they started to make a lot of money from it.

So the tables turned, you know.

And the 2 brothers start walking with the other brother….
and as their walking they’re saying, “No, we can’t do it.”

And the other brother’s like, “No, we can, now I know I always used to say we can’t, but we can! We can!”

And they’re walking….
And one of the 2 brothers was like “No, we have had this conversation for 5 years now,” or some shit, I don’t know, I guess it’s been going on for awhile that the tables were turning.

And as they’re having this conversation they’re walking into this new place,
It’s a really nice place…. elegant, strange looking, and you’re starting to notice that, it looks like they’re walking inside of a tube….

Like you could still live in it, like an apartment, but it was shaped like a tube, or whatever,
it was weird.

And as they’re walking the the other brother is pleading that they can make it work,
When all of a sudden the first brother’s says “No, you have 5 seconds to get outta here.”

And then you hear something go off, like an alarm….
And that’s when you realize that, where they had walked too was a like space ship, a rocket ship, like their whole environment warped and morphed from a road into a tube into this rocket ship,
and they all started blasting off into space!

And right as the rocket ship began blasting into space, the other brother jumped out while grabbing the 2nd brother, trying to rip him out of the vessel. Right as I woke up, the first brother exploded off into space, and the other brother fell back to Earth pulling the 2nd brother out of the ship just enough for him to get sucked out completely and stuck in the In-between. I can’t even describe this….

I don’t know if he got stuck there forever or what,
It doesn’t make any sense now at all…. Fuck….

But the message…. The message seemed so clear.
