Death zone

The David's started their journey from a small town in Australia, and found ourselves in one of the major cities of USA, California as mother called it, we were in search of greener pastures. I personally liked the idea cause I had seen pictures, heard stories and watched documentaries about the massive and powerful USA it was rather exciting for me, it was the first time I was leaving the boarders of Australia, also the first time I was taking a trip on a plane; although I was already turning 18 in the winter there was a lot I hadn't experienced like those long family vacations, meeting my cousins that lived far from home, I was basically disconnected from anyone 3 or more states away from our hometown. anytime I brought up visiting someone father always killed the topic with things like it's not safe we have to save the money and so many other excuses from his bank of excuses so eventually I stopped bothering about it cause I knew it wouldn't matter he'd just turn me down anyway, then one day I receive the shock of my life I was out fishing so we could have some protein with our dinner and dad comes by the river side which rarely happened anymore as he was getting older and he sits beside me at the bank of the river and we talk a little then he drops a bombshell and says we're moving away from Australia, he said mom who was significantly younger has high chances of getting a job after she completed her masters degree and then Matt daisy and I could work part time that way we can make ends meet. As he spoke I just sat there dazed I couldn't believe what my old man had just said but believe it or not two weeks after that conversation here I was on a plane to the USA.
