The long drive from the city was a grueling three days of winey roads and open fields. It gives me a lot of time to think and rethink about my current predicament.
My great uncle had recently pasted away. I never knew me and my family barely talked about him. He was considered an eccentric and crazy as he lived alone on his remote farm. And for some bizarre reason, I was in his will.
So if he was a complete stranger to me and spoken so negatively of, why am I going along with this crazy inheritance scheme? Because I live in a one apartment studio barely making a livable wage at a dead end job. This is my only chance to get out of this life. Also I'm stupid.
"Your destination is on the right," a robotic British woman's voice called out of my GPS from my phone.
I turned to my phone to see it was on its last bar of service and would be cut off from the last bit of civilization I have left. I then look back to the road to see a small hill with a well built wooden house. For someone who lived alone this was more like a mansion then a rickety old cabin I was imagining. How well off was this man?
Standing next to the house was a thin old man in a black suit, my Uncale's lawyer, waiting for me.
