As Danny looked out the side of the car window he Lernout a deep sigh. This was not how his weekend was supposed to go. He had just turned 18 and graduated high school. He was supposed to be enjoying this last summer with his friends before heading off to college in the fall. However his dad deciding to force him to take take a drive together way up north into the woods to meet maternal grandmother, whom he had never met.
