Reconciliation

Ever since we were 10 years old my best friend Mark and I did everything together. We drew pictures constantly in school, we hung out every weekend, raided the mall after school and dominated the arcades.
Our passion was horror movies and after college we eventually started up our own company that specialized in special effects, prop making, and haunted attraction designs. When we were in our early 20's we were contracted to design build and run a haunted park for a local ski resort. We built it on a $2000 budget, called it Haunted Hills, and it ran for 4 weekends during the halloween season.
We produced a $15,000 profit.

2 years later we opened our own haunted theme park and ran it successfully for 3 years until it finally happened.

Last July due to mounting pressure to produce and money squabbles, Mark and I parted ways with a lot of bad blood left behind. We havn't seen each other or spoken to each other since. 20 years of inseperable friendship shot down the drain in one night over money.

Until today. I extended the olive branch and sent him an email admitting that while I was still angry over several things, I was wrong about the way I handled them. A few hours later, he responded by saying that we're both too old for holding grudges and that high school ended long ago.

And while he isn't ready to dive right into being "best buds" again, he does want to take things slow and see what happens.

At least we're talking, and maybe some day I'll have my bro back.
