The cool fall air really lifted April's spirits. The cool breeze raised goose bumps on her bare legs. She wore her old cheerleader shorts, a hoodie sweatshirt over a Camp t-shirt and scruffy white sneakers. She'd been coming to this Camp since she was a little girl. She and her brothers had been camp counselors in High School and she'd worked summers as a health care aid during nursing school. She'd become such a part of this place that her family came up here during the off season to do some work in exchange for use of the facilities. Today she was walking up the path with her brother to paint one of the old outhouses.
"They just put this old open pit over a new concrete pit," Jim told her as they approached the drab looking eight hold open pit. "They don't really use these much now that they have the big bath houses, but its way out here on the far side of camp and it beats having the kids shit on poison ivy."
They entered the old style privy which was refreshingly free of the usual fermented shit odor you associate with these places. "Before we get to painting," Jim said, "Dad wants us to make sure the foundation is good. He doesn't want the pit leaking sewage into the water table."
April nodded, it seemed reasonable. "What do we have to do?"
"We need to check the pit for cracks, make sure the concrete set OK." Jim shined a flashlight into the clean concrete tank under the outhouse. "I can't see the whole thing from here. You're going to have to go down and have a look."
"Why me," April pouted. "I don't want to go down there."
"Oh, don't be a baby," Jim chided. "You have to go down because you're little enough to fit through the hole. Besides, it's not like it's a used shitter. It's just a big, empty concrete tank right now."
It sounded reasonable enough, but April had doubts. Jim had a way of playing mean pranks on her. But he insisted that Dad told him to have to check out the foundations, so she lowered herself through one of the toilet ports and dropped down into the concrete bunker. She shined her penlight around the walls and called up, "I don't see anyβ¦"
That's when she felt the warm water hitting her back. April spun around and looked up. She felt the piss hitting her face before she saw her brother pissing on her. He cackled with demented laughter as his piss soaked April's hoodie. "You are so gullible April! You are such a sucker! I hope you like your new home!"
