Beers and catching up now

You and your Uncle stay up drinking deep into the night. You pace your sips so your Uncle gets the lion's share. You learn a lot about this town and about how your poor Uncle survives without a job and that lame leg. Staying in a self made shack in the woods behind Creepy Town.

Creepy town is mostly of well to do folks and Barney, your uncle does odd and often illegal jobs for them. He dumpster dives. He cons begs and steals. But he has been living like this for 17 years he says. Like he's proud of it. That night your uncle has a fatal heart attack. You wake up to hear him gurgling. You rush into his bitter smelling room. He is sprawled on the floor holding his chest. He only says one thing to you before dieing. It's "You will never leave Creepy Town alive.".

Uncle Barney was a shaman. Shamans in your family are always right about the last thing they say.
