Purple Boxes
Filly woke again in the dark. She had been dreaming about boxes. Purple boxes. The same color purple as the purple in the hair of the woman who had come to the house.
The woman who had been one of the thieves. The woman who had walked off with the money…the gold. In the boxes, in her dream, the faces were not far away but were near. The faces were close enough to touch. The faces were hiding in the boxes trying to blend in. But the boxes were her friends. Filly could see the faces in the boxes clear as day.
Filly had once described her self as a “circle for squares”. Tongue-in-cheek she meant a girl (circle) who was supportive of and not limited by, a mostly male (squares) environment. The squares she believed, were the “boxes” in her dreams. Men who knew she cherished God, family, and country. Just like her dad, her mom and her sisters. The boxes mostly did also. They were her friends.
They would help her and would not hide criminals.
Filly did not know how to analyze dreams but she knew that even though it seemed like the perpetrator was far away, in reality it was the opposite.
Those who would do harm to their fellow man were not far away in her dream but were close and were purposeful and palpable. But God was closer. God was more purposeful.
The faces in the boxes were those who did not want to protect innocent ones, who did not want to have consequences and who did not love God and country and who were not patriotic.
And they were people she had seen before. Or connected to people she had seen before…maybe even people she knew. Were they people who were scared because they had broken the law or people who were angry and had a vendetta. Maybe they were some of both because their had been many faces.
They were people who hated those who defended infants or who defended the opposite political viewpoint. People who would key cars and who would defend colored flags but burn the American flags. People who would say they loved the fighting Irish, but who wanted threesomes and were voyeur.
God did not want Ireland divided. That was in an earlier dream.
The people in the boxes were people who were real, not fake.
People who wanted Marxism or communism, who wanted everyone to be the same, who apparently wanted everyone to be poor. Like all the poor people in the countries where Marxism and communism had been tried but had always ultimately failed. Because those forms of government did not work.
Filly thought about how the seven children of Karl Marx, and how they had been starving due to his lack of financial support, and how two of them committed suicide. Marx was a horrible role model. Filly shuddered. How could he possibly run countries when he could not even run his own family.
The faces in the boxes in her dream were smiling. Laughing. They were more retaliatory, not scared. That was why they were smiling. Filly knew God was on her side though. She knew and she trusted.
Filly thought about the bible verse… randomly chosen because it reflected something to her about the day and the problem at hand.
In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month, shall he do the like in the feast of the seven days, according to the sin offering, according to the burnt offering, and according to the meat offering, and according to the oil.
Filly always related what she read in the bible to what was happening now. Now she wanted to find out who stole the money and why… this was trying to give an answer or give context.
The only things that had happened in the seventh month was the birth and death of her sister. Both happened in July and they were seven days apart. July 18 1955 and July 24 1994. Like the bible verse. Her sisters odd death was something she had commented about, on X. Something that she had earlier, connected to a movie “the firm” because of its similarity to Enron.
Because the similarity was where her beautiful intelligent sister, top of her class, sorority queen, a marathon runner, a private pilot and an attorney, had also been hired as an attorney and had been working for Arthur Anderson, before she had died. Her role in real life matched the role of Tom Cruise… only he was a man. Filly knew that the movies took liberties with real life events so that they could say these events had nothing to do with the movies. But in fact the FACTS were “hiding in plain sight”.
Filly made the connection because of the guy in the movie, The Firm who had the pictures in the trunk of his car and who looked like her sisters husband. Even had the same name. She thought of what they did in that movie. Not the people in Chicago but the people in the law firm.
Was her sister the sin offering? Her own book, the burnt offering? The baby who also died the meat offering? And the stolen money the oil offering? To appease whom? Certainly not God. That would have happened 30 years ago in July and happened before Enron was found out and shut down. Did her sister figure it out?
In the movie, the good lawyer got away on a legit technicality and saved himself and his wife. But in real life her sister did not get away. And in real life her sisters husband currently refused to talk to Filly. And she knew he had pictures… in the trunk of his car. He had shown them to her. He had shown them the same way the guy in the movie had shown Tom Cruise the pictures… pretending to just be “looking out for his best interest”.
Blackmail? The other people in the pictures were not ghosts. They were real also.
She picked up a new bible verse.
“As they look on, load the provisions and supplies on your shoulder and carry it out in the dark. You shall cover your face so that you cannot see the land, for I have set you as a sign to the house of Israel.”
Filly thought that this meant that the dream was a sign for those on the dark web. That the people who had committed the crime had communicated on the dark web and those who participated, would be brought out of the dark.
Filly interpreted this as such, because in the “web” one cannot see the land. On the dark web, faces are hid. That meant that God was going to put law enforcement on those who would do evil. The faces in her dream were laughing too soon. They were close. They were not hid.
And when she was driving back from Austin earlier that day, the Mcdonalds went dark as she drove by it. Literally all the exterior lights went off. As if to say they were “not serving”. They were saying “not me”. But someone was going to get served. Filly demanded it. God listened.
That morning when she went to get her new library card, it was the anniversary of the library, and it was going to be celebrated. The gift given was a charcuterie BOARD.
Filly thought of how this was also the 30 year anniversary of her sisters death and the bible verse about how the box on the BOARD said to think positive.
That was when Filly remembered that the man listed as having the same phone number as Fidelity, two days earlier when she was doing research, was connected to a photo of a man called Savage who had been involved in Enron. He was in fact on the “BOARD” and had kept buying shares when the stock was declining which cost the stock holders millions… mostly people in Florida, she had read.
Her sisters husband was an attorney. A tax attorney. The money had been stolen when working on taxes. Law Library she thought. More astonishing signs and symbols.
If those committing crimes were actually part of the faithful, believers, Christians, they would turn themselves in. She doubted if they were. And if they were afraid of the consequences of their actions, instead of being BRAVE, the search engine she was going to sign up for, they might not.
Running for them, was not an option. But Google posted band on the run anyway. They claimed they would never be found. Filly knew better.
There was only the black or dark web to run too. And it was a black hole. A really big black hole. And God could see. Good was in operation. Thank you God. Filly trusted God’s laws, the legislative branch. And he was the big boss…the president, the executive branch. And he was the supreme court, the judicial branch. Three in one, The father the son and the holy spirit. Amen.
On her phone at that moment, was a video about this giant black hole, that had three things on the perimeter of it, preventing those things in danger of being sucked into the black hole, from actually getting sucked in…. similar to how God (the father son and holy spirit) helped good people confess their sins, so they could face consequences, but not be sucked into the black hole.
Another sign, Filly believed, from Heaven…that no matter how big the black hole was (or the deep web) God was bigger.
