Michael Jordan Gets a Message From a Homeless Man Claiming to Be His Brother—What Follows Is Insane
Late one night, Michael Jordan sat alone in his office, reviewing some business reports after a long day. His phone buzzed with an incoming message, and he glanced at the time—11:43 PM. Another late night, but he was used to it. The world of business and basketball never seemed to rest. As he rubbed his tired eyes, a knock on his door interrupted his thoughts.
“Mr. Jordan,” his assistant Mara’s voice called softly. “There’s a situation outside.”
Michael leaned back in his chair. “What kind of situation?”
Mara stepped inside, a hint of worry in her calm demeanor. “There’s a man who’s been camping outside the building for three days. Security’s tried to make him leave, but he insists he needs to speak with you personally.”
Michael sighed, ready to dismiss the matter. “Tell security to handle it. This isn’t the first time someone’s come here looking for help.”
Mara hesitated. “That’s just it, sir. He’s claiming to be your brother.”
Michael froze. “My brother?” He had a younger brother named Larry, and a sister, Deloris, both well known to the public. There was no mention of any other siblings. His mind raced, trying to make sense of the claim.
“Yes, sir,” Mara continued. “He says his name is Terrence Kylo, and he insists that he’s your older brother. He won’t leave until he speaks with you.”
Michael stood up, now intrigued. This was new. “Did he say anything else?”
Mara handed him a folded note. “He gave me this to give to you. He said it would prove who he is.”
Michael unfolded the note, his eyes scanning the messy handwriting.
“Michael, you don’t know me, but I know you. I’m your older brother, born before you to our mother. I was given up for adoption before you were born, and no one in the family knows about me except our mother. She swore never to tell. I wouldn’t contact you like this if it wasn’t important. Life or death important—Not just for me, but maybe for everyone. To prove I’m not crazy, I know about the wooden rocket you built when you were six. The one with the red wings and the secret compartment in the bottom where you kept that weird rock you found in the garden. You named it Z14 and told Larry it came from space. I also know about this symbol, a crude drawing of two triangles inside a circle with a dot in the center.”
Michael’s heart skipped a beat. The details in the letter, especially the mention of the wooden rocket, were things he had never shared with anyone. He had always kept that memory to himself, a secret he’d never spoken about.
Michael stood still for a moment, processing the letter. Who could know these things? Was this a scam? A con artist trying to get close to him? Or could there be some truth to it?
He pressed the intercom button. “Mara, is he still out there?”
“Yes, Mr. Jordan. He’s waiting by the front gate. Security has searched him, but he insists he won’t leave until he speaks to you.”
Michael thought for a moment, then made a decision. “Let him in. I’ll speak to him for five minutes. That’s all.”
A few minutes later, Terrence Kylo was brought into the conference room. Michael was expecting a disheveled man, maybe someone who looked mentally unstable, but what he saw shocked him. Terrence was thin, with a scruffy beard, and his clothes were worn, but he carried himself with an unusual composure. His eyes, however, were what struck Michael the most—sharp, intelligent, and oddly familiar.
“Mr. Jordan,” Terrence said, standing up as Michael entered. “Thank you for agreeing to meet with me.”
“You have five minutes,” Michael said, his voice calm but firm. “Start talking.”
Terrence nodded. “I understand your skepticism. If I were in your position, I’d feel the same. But I’m not here to ask for money or fame. I’m here because of something much bigger than us. Something our fathers were involved in.”
“Fathers?” Michael asked, raising an eyebrow.
Terrence took a deep breath. “Yes, Michael. Your father and mine worked together on something important. Something that no one knows about. A project they were part of back in the 1970s, and it’s something that affects you, too.”
Michael’s mind raced as he processed the words. His father had rarely spoken about his early career, and there were gaps in the stories he had shared. But now, hearing this man’s claim, things began to click into place.
“You’re saying my father worked with your father?” Michael asked. “On what?”
Terrence leaned forward. “A project involving advanced technology. Your father was an engineer, my father was a physicist. They were part of a research team in South Africa, studying technology that was beyond anything the world had ever seen. I know it sounds insane, but it’s true.”
Michael’s breath caught in his throat. The details Terrence was sharing seemed far-fetched, but there was something about the man’s conviction, something about the way he spoke, that made Michael want to listen.
“You want me to believe that our fathers worked on alien technology?” Michael asked incredulously.
Terrence nodded. “Not just alien technology, Michael. They found something in 1969—something that crashed in the northern part of South Africa. They studied it for years, and what they learned changed everything. It wasn’t just about advanced machines; they learned how to enhance human biology—genetics, DNA—things that could make us stronger, smarter, faster.”
Michael’s mind raced. Was this possible? Was this why he had always felt different, like he was driven by something beyond just ambition and talent?
“You claim I’m part of this,” Michael said slowly. “That I’ve been… enhanced.”
Terrence looked him in the eye. “Yes. Your cognitive abilities, your drive, your ability to process information faster than anyone else—it’s not just genetics, Michael. It’s part of what they did to you.”
Michael leaned back, his mind reeling. Could this be true? Had his success really been engineered from the start?
Terrence continued, “I have proof. This,” he said, pulling out a small metal disc from his pocket. “This is part of the project. It’s connected to everything your father and mine worked on.”
The disc was unlike anything Michael had seen before. Its surface shimmered in the light, and when Terrence handed it to him, Michael felt a strange warmth emanating from it.
“What is this?” Michael asked, his voice barely a whisper.
“It’s a key,” Terrence said. “A key to understanding everything. The technology our fathers were working on, the enhancements they gave us, and what’s coming next. I need your help to finish what they started.”
Michael stared at the disc in his hand, feeling the weight of the moment. The world he had known—his family, his career—was being turned upside down. The answers to his past, to his success, were within his reach.
“How do you know all this?” Michael asked.
“I’ve spent years studying my father’s journals,” Terrence replied. “I’ve memorized everything he knew. The technology, the science. And I believe it’s time to activate it again.”
Michael took a deep breath, looking at the disc, then back at Terrence. “I need more time to think about this,” he said finally. “This is a lot to take in.”
Terrence nodded. “I understand. But I’m telling you, Michael, we’re running out of time. The technology is waking up, and it’s going to change everything. We need to be ready.”
As Michael sat there, holding the disc in his hand, he realized that his life—his legacy—was tied to something much bigger than he had ever imagined. The decision he was about to make could alter the course of history.
And for the first time in his life, Michael Jordan wasn’t sure what to do next.
