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

uncle seth said he remembered me

i didn’t remember him

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuVRVyKXvo

he wore camouflage pants

he had a scruffy moustache

and rough sideburns

he would cough every time he laughed

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA3S32GYhb

he hugged pops when we arrived

and shook gail’s hand

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm3ndB3ehc

then he shook my hand

firmly

and ruffled the hair on the top of my head

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN192mFdrs

“nice to see you, jim” he grinned

showing less teeth than i expected

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFboMOYLTw

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscjcyNoFOO

we settled down

and put our luggage in the rooms where we were sleeping

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8M2vTPmwn

i didn’t want to know

that gail and pops

would be in the same bed

but i hated myself for caring

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTu7ydSHg3

at least i had a room to myself

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NW9olmFcp

there was no wifi at uncle seth’s house

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb8svKNzNb

and no reception

so there was no way for me to talk to pandora

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMHk12JPMC

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

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTEfPtbght

uncle seth woke me up at 5 in the morning

“come fishing with me”

he whispered

“it’ll be fun.”

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n1Lph19P2

“i’m a vegan”

i whispered back

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnwndsyA8k

he scoffed

“no, really. you’ll love it.”

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5Q3CiAZZC

he took me out to a bridge

over a lake

that was so quiet

i could hear my own heartbeat

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqhMgSL5Bi

he showed me how to prepare a fishing rod

and we waited

lines in the water

for something to happen

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF2u4MBPPn

uncle seth took a lunchbox out of his satchel

“hungry?”

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mDfeCKT9k

i nodded.

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm4z6x4LTs

he handed me a bun

he must have prepared?

before?

5 in the morning?

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH567asnKr

i looked inside

it was ham

and cheese

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqyLhJ8gUi

would i rather kill a pig?

or force a cow to lactate for me?

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1lsQSSvDj

why was life always like that?

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxKWzDp1ms

“ham and cheese?” i muttered, quietly.

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz60yQhD3j

“oh, yeah, boys don’t like pink food

“i’m sorry.”

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB3Rj98A9N

i looked in his eyes for a sign of humour

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPl7uUEcCC

but he was being

serious

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXY4nZeQXk

“but, jim, you’ve got to believe me

“ham is a very manly food

“it’s meat, you know”

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJKLJFE06L

“i know”

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDnJZlQnqV

i ate the whole thing

two of them actually

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8YZolufyb

at least it’s food

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxfthaoaGW

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtFphMm07m

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

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvNs7kAgsv

“we’re going hunting now”

uncle seth told them, excitedly

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybz02Yfi44

“i thought we were done”

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqKVqCQP5b

“no, jim

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