You came to Morriston to seek your family history. Your father was from Jacksonville and your mother was from Morriston. You know your family line on your father's side as far back as the 1600's but your mother killed herself before you were old enough to ask her about her family and your father refuses to talk about them. He was on bad standing with them and they blame him for her death. If he knew you were here he'd have a fit, but you haven't talked to him in years (not since you graduated college) anyway. You observe your surroundings as you drive down mainstreet.
You see very few people on the sidewalk. Most of them are young teenagers with dull bulging eyes ambling in small groups. The few adult males you see look a little off. Perhaps there is a lot of inbreeding in this town. With their lack of outside contact it wouldn't be too unbelievable. There are many buildings with boarded up windows, but as you pass them you get the feeling you are being watched. There is one motel in town with the generic name "Morriston motel", one small grocery store, one restaurant. and a fishing port. The city gets most of its money from the fishing industry and has little big business besides the fishing port.
You want to meet your grandparents, but you think it might be better to spend a day in the Motel and get aquainted with your surroundings.
