Mom, brother and I were looking around for this small business owned by my father. It was a small filter business run by an old friend of my father. When she saw us come in she was not too happy, my father had passed away a long time ago and she had been running things thinking she was rid of us.
We wanted to take a look around this family business so she gave us a tour.
Suddenly we were out in the middle of some mountains and the small business was now a big factory.
Everything was very broken down and had to be fixed. I was going around talking to people who worked there telling them how to be more efficient but there was a big party going on so nobody wanted to listen.
I picked one out of the crowd and asked him to follow me outside. He was cooperative at first, listening carefully but then this song came on and he was distracted and hurried back to the party on the second floor of the factory. That was were all the younger people were hanging out.
I remember being worried because when I had taken the tour Id seen that the floor on that second story was a bit wobbly and was made of old wood planks that could easily break with more than ten people on them.
I was a little bummbed out because no one was willing to cooperate and make this factory the great factory that my father wanted it to be.
The next day this employee tha had ignored me the night before came looking for me and wanted to distract me from looking at the newspaper. So I wento upstairs to my room looking for my laptop so tht I could find the news on the internet.
There it was. The factory, still beautiful on the outside. I looked at it and then instead of an image on the screen it was a 3D model of the factory. I noticed that if I looked at it carefully you could only see black inside it. It was then I knew why the employee, who looked alot like a guy that I worked with when I was a school art teacher, was trying to make me avoid.
The factory had been burned down all from the inside. The news said someone had left something burning the night of the party and no one noticed, so the factory'sinsides had burned all night. I was pretty upset but was now worried because I knew we had insurance.
