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

uncle seth said he remembered me

i didn’t remember him

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydCEj9ZAqq

he wore camouflage pants

he had a scruffy moustache

and rough sideburns

he would cough every time he laughed

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaa8pQB0m8

he hugged pops when we arrived

and shook gail’s hand

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmGQRQKTPY

then he shook my hand

firmly

and ruffled the hair on the top of my head

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yjCEWg0qZ

“nice to see you, jim” he grinned

showing less teeth than i expected

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjSYDSafDT

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVPtRFoIew

we settled down

and put our luggage in the rooms where we were sleeping

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WpMTrypt5

i didn’t want to know

that gail and pops

would be in the same bed

but i hated myself for caring

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8x6HTH74K

at least i had a room to myself

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcaK0bWGpg

there was no wifi at uncle seth’s house

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSjBRMwR3b

and no reception

so there was no way for me to talk to pandora

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHPbzrVeZ8

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

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMpiuKfVay

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbg7mWzhAG

uncle seth woke me up at 5 in the morning

“come fishing with me”

he whispered

“it’ll be fun.”

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ocz4QB7u5

“i’m a vegan”

i whispered back

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXxBpSeFjV

he scoffed

“no, really. you’ll love it.”

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WmVkTr7Vf

he took me out to a bridge

over a lake

that was so quiet

i could hear my own heartbeat

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoWhcZkmBu

he showed me how to prepare a fishing rod

and we waited

lines in the water

for something to happen

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqIgqa63Fu

uncle seth took a lunchbox out of his satchel

“hungry?”

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w5LD6ykmQ

i nodded.

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeCk5ZyAr1

he handed me a bun

he must have prepared?

before?

5 in the morning?

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA42pmwjXHL

i looked inside

it was ham

and cheese

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jRl7cPWUh

would i rather kill a pig?

or force a cow to lactate for me?

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiocYx3IDZ

why was life always like that?

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGCXoIoGsX

“ham and cheese?” i muttered, quietly.

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIwvqC6bvU

“oh, yeah, boys don’t like pink food

“i’m sorry.”

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERuA6X8Qac

i looked in his eyes for a sign of humour

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUaDVgdqDq

but he was being

serious

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMawaPR2f3m

“but, jim, you’ve got to believe me

“ham is a very manly food

“it’s meat, you know”

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCjnZYTH9l

“i know”

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA5oDQ8vNc

i ate the whole thing

two of them actually

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQstXnt6Wq1

at least it’s food

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqOQp1WTgY

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66ayfEiXhg

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

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz59x2g6oU

“we’re going hunting now”

uncle seth told them, excitedly

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYRUxh8v9O

“i thought we were done”

322Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xVk886HTS

“no, jim

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