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

uncle seth said he remembered me

i didn’t remember him

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUA17aoSSo

he wore camouflage pants

he had a scruffy moustache

and rough sideburns

he would cough every time he laughed

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkdAXQssDF

he hugged pops when we arrived

and shook gail’s hand

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9VDtkhLgR

then he shook my hand

firmly

and ruffled the hair on the top of my head

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9PxegtHdc

“nice to see you, jim” he grinned

showing less teeth than i expected

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ825Uig1DCq

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvVxwJyeaF

we settled down

and put our luggage in the rooms where we were sleeping

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VcyXofAyV

i didn’t want to know

that gail and pops

would be in the same bed

but i hated myself for caring

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjCcszUU94

at least i had a room to myself

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r9JFi0U7W

there was no wifi at uncle seth’s house

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VyEZbRtjA

and no reception

so there was no way for me to talk to pandora

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvOROOyU95

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

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXVVe7vtIN

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTT1PYjMmM

uncle seth woke me up at 5 in the morning

“come fishing with me”

he whispered

“it’ll be fun.”

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLnS4Qbk6U

“i’m a vegan”

i whispered back

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvzv9RfLYm

he scoffed

“no, really. you’ll love it.”

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCKCyMVt6p

he took me out to a bridge

over a lake

that was so quiet

i could hear my own heartbeat

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnefz9vV0Gf

he showed me how to prepare a fishing rod

and we waited

lines in the water

for something to happen

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6fhsbXwLr

uncle seth took a lunchbox out of his satchel

“hungry?”

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeFoUyldop

i nodded.

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrLhGNR4Yn

he handed me a bun

he must have prepared?

before?

5 in the morning?

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu864LSKBM

i looked inside

it was ham

and cheese

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8uiivqeQx

would i rather kill a pig?

or force a cow to lactate for me?

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiPg4qtoi9

why was life always like that?

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OjA6LqiX4

“ham and cheese?” i muttered, quietly.

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMVIcesIOC

“oh, yeah, boys don’t like pink food

“i’m sorry.”

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ994oX3HaR

i looked in his eyes for a sign of humour

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaOeUIkXRF

but he was being

serious

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVgfJG223n

“but, jim, you’ve got to believe me

“ham is a very manly food

“it’s meat, you know”

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRYQyQs3vb

“i know”

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nN2x6IdI5

i ate the whole thing

two of them actually

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoLcRRZUAH

at least it’s food

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsniSKKEkRC

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD4Ttuaplv

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

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIVVyOzLWc

“we’re going hunting now”

uncle seth told them, excitedly

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWg5gVo6Yx

“i thought we were done”

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZQPmZGWZa

“no, jim

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