Art Comes in for a Meeting
One day, a person named Art comes in, looking for help. You know Art, have known him for a while.
Rich calls you to sit in on the meeting and take notes. You’re a bit bashful when you step into the conference room and are introduced to someone you know form the outside world.
But Art doesn’t seem to recognize you. He just sits down facing Rich. But, you tell yourself, Art’s Art and he can be a bit goofy at times.
You watch him. He seems uncomfortable. In fact he seems downright rattled. As you take out a clean sheet of paper, you reflect that it’s been a couple of years since you‘ve seen him. Last you heard, he was still the prodigious prodigy, cranking out quality piece after quality piece. After so many years selling all those high priced paintings, he must have quite a bit of money by now.
Rich begins the conversation with small talk, apparently trying to get Art to relax. But Art will have none of it. Art never did go in for nice-nice.
“I DON'T WANT TO GO TO PRISON,” Art blurts out, to which Rich visibly flinches.
“Uhm, say more,” Rich says.
