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

uncle seth said he remembered me

i didn’t remember him

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNcgdov4f5

he wore camouflage pants

he had a scruffy moustache

and rough sideburns

he would cough every time he laughed

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tKvdVY6Pj

he hugged pops when we arrived

and shook gail’s hand

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70kfOY36Jy

then he shook my hand

firmly

and ruffled the hair on the top of my head

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44hDrheTI2

“nice to see you, jim” he grinned

showing less teeth than i expected

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWFBLAFJ6D

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtDpHSPkpg

we settled down

and put our luggage in the rooms where we were sleeping

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvZXdVrgms

i didn’t want to know

that gail and pops

would be in the same bed

but i hated myself for caring

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgDMxrhZoB

at least i had a room to myself

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnljgWgDkph

there was no wifi at uncle seth’s house

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KZogmZQ78

and no reception

so there was no way for me to talk to pandora

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTCuZ4DZxE

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

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstkcFi3I6P

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcR6me7RIi

uncle seth woke me up at 5 in the morning

“come fishing with me”

he whispered

“it’ll be fun.”

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzkMcKslD0

“i’m a vegan”

i whispered back

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSuu9tUFjN

he scoffed

“no, really. you’ll love it.”

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVcdGQDejT

he took me out to a bridge

over a lake

that was so quiet

i could hear my own heartbeat

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5icdffztky

he showed me how to prepare a fishing rod

and we waited

lines in the water

for something to happen

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwRxPnxXYJ

uncle seth took a lunchbox out of his satchel

“hungry?”

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaYsK3tWc6

i nodded.

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri5mksUsNS

he handed me a bun

he must have prepared?

before?

5 in the morning?

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQsfKgOk2E

i looked inside

it was ham

and cheese

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4AvYt9f6S

would i rather kill a pig?

or force a cow to lactate for me?

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUprOtOFCaI

why was life always like that?

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BTBclC9Eg

“ham and cheese?” i muttered, quietly.

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VuuANZpie

“oh, yeah, boys don’t like pink food

“i’m sorry.”

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKqAalkuGu

i looked in his eyes for a sign of humour

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqUvgD25Hl

but he was being

serious

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLfY2sYeiS

“but, jim, you’ve got to believe me

“ham is a very manly food

“it’s meat, you know”

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM2sQ9HDGx

“i know”

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSwNe7n2dy

i ate the whole thing

two of them actually

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8QGK0OffP

at least it’s food

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyRK3I6ZnY

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7o8QWEoSl

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

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxwa0xeBe8

“we’re going hunting now”

uncle seth told them, excitedly

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmgwmIwYqH

“i thought we were done”

328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11QKU4JG8m

“no, jim

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