the Was. of Jimmy McVonson - act one; division five: hUnting & f;shing p1

uncle seth said he remembered me

i didn’t remember him

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn8R0yBUwK

he wore camouflage pants

he had a scruffy moustache

and rough sideburns

he would cough every time he laughed

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE3nVngJWb

he hugged pops when we arrived

and shook gail’s hand

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QlqjrZrAx

then he shook my hand

firmly

and ruffled the hair on the top of my head

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WTzBL4iqJ

“nice to see you, jim” he grinned

showing less teeth than i expected

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lcpUpbfab

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkynpEEmI6d

we settled down

and put our luggage in the rooms where we were sleeping

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCs8CxHTnI

i didn’t want to know

that gail and pops

would be in the same bed

but i hated myself for caring

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqtuASzfLH

at least i had a room to myself

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW130fXeoSK

there was no wifi at uncle seth’s house

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMOIAzZcgc

and no reception

so there was no way for me to talk to pandora

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi5WGkNFcc

gail tried to tell me it’s better that way

“the internet connects us with people far away

“but it separates us from people who are right in front of us.”

i didn’t quite see her point

i wanted to be separated

from the people in front of me

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrPSMHpUu7

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRnLLHM1Gg

uncle seth woke me up at 5 in the morning

“come fishing with me”

he whispered

“it’ll be fun.”

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvuWBsrCgR

“i’m a vegan”

i whispered back

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDNbysoKyJ

he scoffed

“no, really. you’ll love it.”

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyBApiiMYu

he took me out to a bridge

over a lake

that was so quiet

i could hear my own heartbeat

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhORIj5oGWd

he showed me how to prepare a fishing rod

and we waited

lines in the water

for something to happen

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mlFvzp0Ea

uncle seth took a lunchbox out of his satchel

“hungry?”

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcPUD1oBUh

i nodded.

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtohR15ikO8

he handed me a bun

he must have prepared?

before?

5 in the morning?

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGIO4ZwTAs

i looked inside

it was ham

and cheese

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0REvBdILJ1

would i rather kill a pig?

or force a cow to lactate for me?

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNftEuBGWa

why was life always like that?

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLrd9vB0d7

“ham and cheese?” i muttered, quietly.

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqozDP7A4Xm

“oh, yeah, boys don’t like pink food

“i’m sorry.”

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayHYv39FIU

i looked in his eyes for a sign of humour

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0R0ourCqq

but he was being

serious

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpNgXs73f8

“but, jim, you’ve got to believe me

“ham is a very manly food

“it’s meat, you know”

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7FdxGy8rn

“i know”

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXiEtnr7I3

i ate the whole thing

two of them actually

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM731WhrEV

at least it’s food

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYDZU1WuUf

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4qIdx4g4D

after we didn’t catch anything fishing

uncle seth took me back to the cabin

gail and pops were having breakfast

gail insulted me for not catching anything

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTKvmTHz8S

“we’re going hunting now”

uncle seth told them, excitedly

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY8Qyp5Y3Y

“i thought we were done”

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy86UKgzUMp

“no, jim

“i’ve got a whole day planned for us”
