“Grandpa Wilder? I’ve got to stay with him?” Deck groans when he overhears his parents discussing what to do with him when they go on their trip.
“We can’t leave you here all on your own,” Dad says. He is adamant. Deck knows that tone of voice. The last time he tried arguing with that tone of voice, Deck was bare assed and over Dad’s knee before he knew what hit him. He didn’t sit down comfortably for a week. Deck might be a strapping lad now, but he doesn’t dare test fate.
Grandpa Wilder picks Deck up at the Perth Airport. While they drive out into the bush, Deck’s parents take off in a jet over the Indian Ocean.
“Ain’t you big, young fellah,” Grandpa Wilder says.
“You’re not so bad either, Grandpa,” Deck says with a grin.
Three hours from the airport they make a brief stop in Dalwallinu. While shopping for groceries at Farmer Jacks Foodworks, Grandpa warns Deck, “This will be the last bit of civilization you see in a while.”
Deck thinks they left civilization a long time ago.
It’s another three hours drive through the bush before the reach Grandpa Wilder’s outpost. However, before they get out of the car, Grandpa Wilder has a few house rules to explain.“So, the chances we’ll encounter another human while you’re here are zero. There’s hardly any water around. So don’t go wandering off. You’ll die of thirst and a dingo will eat you up before I find you,” Grandpa says.
Deck nods.
“And, since we won’t run into anyone, and seeing how hot it is out here, I usually don’t wear anything. In this heat us men get too sweaty wearing clothes. It’s not good. Makes things too itchy. Letting it all hang out lets the dry air circulate and dry things out.”
Deck likes the sound of that. And he’s thrilled when he discovers that Grandpa Willard’s house is a glorified treehouse, high off the ground to keep the scorpions out. But what is that wonderful sensation in his butt when Deck goes scrambling up the ladder to the house?
