Deja, Thursday, 4:20 a.m.
Queen, Uncle Glen’s sea-scarred, twenty-foot shing boat, daubed
in the sweet stench of sh and gasoline, tore through waves of
turquoise toward Springtown Harbour’s oating dock at way too
fast a speed. But Deja stood serenely behind the wheel, troubled
only by inventory. Exactly how many bars of Irish Spring soap did
she have left back at home? That was where her focus was.
Her
mother had included some in the barrel she’d sent from the United
States. If Deja could gure out how many she and her siblings had
used up so far, she could tell her mother exactly how many to pack
in her next shipment of stu they couldn’t buy on the island.
Then there’d be more room for other things.
That was when one of the boat’s two engines started to sputter.
Deja immediately slowed the boat down. Uncle Glen lunged
from the casting foredeck toward the casting rear deck, where his
friend, and fellow sherman, Mr. Wallace stood. The sound of
Uncle’s boots made Deja think of fat ounders jumping out of the
water and into the boat. The two men hunched over one engine,
their heads rocking side to side.
“Backside!” Mr. Wallace shouted his favorite non-curse curse
word. “Engine done.”
Uncle Glen gripped his chin. “Seems so.”
Two engines made docking easy. One was trickier. Much
trickier, especially since the boat hadn’t been centered for one
engine. Deja licked her sea-salty lips, eager for the chance to prove
herself, hoping her uncle wouldn’t insist on taking the wheel.
