I need to write this down because it feels profound. I was driving with chase and we decided to take a trip a bit further down the road to this place. It was a dark and evil feeling place but alluring somehow. Like a vacation or date night yet not beautiful or fun. We got there and started walking around the main streets. It was many abandoned shops. Small building that had writing and signs all over them suggesting what they may sell. I was telling chase that I was amazed he'd never been here before and that dad used to take me quite frequently. There was a place maybe a restaurant or gathering place that many people were at. Not in the shops as those were closed down. It was different than when I came in the past. Previously we would visit all the shops and there were oddities and strange gadgets that you didn't find in other towns. As we were walking past a big building a huge explosion happens on the hill in the distance. A bomb was dropped there it seems. We ducked into a brick doorway near us and stayed there a while. He seemed stunned and I assured him this is normal for this place. I started thinking why did my dad bring me here. We moved on to this larger meeting place it seemed everyone was gathering at. It was a huge huge huge casino like building just pitch black inside. Like a movie theater but when you walk in there's thousands of screen stations with people sitting there. We were in awe that this existed. It's hard to say what they were all watching or monitoring but it was reminiscent of Nasa. There was also seating like at a theater for a show and we start to watch the event and notice the speaker is Pastor Steve. I say to chase this must be his night time gig. He is extremely exuberant speaking about something that many people are interested in. They're all cheering. It's not positive. It's dark and if his church knew he was doing this it would probably ruin him. But we stay for hours at one point separating from each other. I look for him and my phone is dying. I am using a tracker to find him.and eventually we find each other again. He lost his phone though. So we go off to retrace his steps back where he went which was an alleyway around the corner that was barely illuminated by a nearby building with a few people in it. He had dropped his phone and wallet on the ground before he went pee here. Luckily his phone and wallet were still there.
