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

uncle seth said he remembered me

i didn’t remember him

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJYJupLgDQ

he wore camouflage pants

he had a scruffy moustache

and rough sideburns

he would cough every time he laughed

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CpqJ3FIGS

he hugged pops when we arrived

and shook gail’s hand

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ887svnvr0k

then he shook my hand

firmly

and ruffled the hair on the top of my head

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDufKtloXm

“nice to see you, jim” he grinned

showing less teeth than i expected

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0w1GNDqL5

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSidvuE8RN

we settled down

and put our luggage in the rooms where we were sleeping

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1fIwNKSQt

i didn’t want to know

that gail and pops

would be in the same bed

but i hated myself for caring

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaWQBErjEL

at least i had a room to myself

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYjz5hIyNE

there was no wifi at uncle seth’s house

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlW73lqZ9n

and no reception

so there was no way for me to talk to pandora

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuQnGsTb6r

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

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvCAiNl8sX

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9g6QHn2BF

uncle seth woke me up at 5 in the morning

“come fishing with me”

he whispered

“it’ll be fun.”

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1zk6irP1P

“i’m a vegan”

i whispered back

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSQx5KfKxw

he scoffed

“no, really. you’ll love it.”

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaZhw93Q1L

he took me out to a bridge

over a lake

that was so quiet

i could hear my own heartbeat

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGbllQsIn7

he showed me how to prepare a fishing rod

and we waited

lines in the water

for something to happen

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXCTvLsyoD

uncle seth took a lunchbox out of his satchel

“hungry?”

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtZwX0Ymhz

i nodded.

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSU4sF9f74

he handed me a bun

he must have prepared?

before?

5 in the morning?

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzInQZFDUN

i looked inside

it was ham

and cheese

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLW1yLOO4Q

would i rather kill a pig?

or force a cow to lactate for me?

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwyNUfyBui

why was life always like that?

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPPOonq0qB

“ham and cheese?” i muttered, quietly.

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hEDKjLV8j

“oh, yeah, boys don’t like pink food

“i’m sorry.”

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fjZnPkzij

i looked in his eyes for a sign of humour

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgErG9K0t7

but he was being

serious

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjtEyDVsy9

“but, jim, you’ve got to believe me

“ham is a very manly food

“it’s meat, you know”

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGnKuJwqUa

“i know”

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbVIdyQbJU

i ate the whole thing

two of them actually

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3nL1abmg4

at least it’s food

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlKlDiedVm

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uMY1oKLj6

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

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2e05Hkhmu

“we’re going hunting now”

uncle seth told them, excitedly

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQHMERDC9T

“i thought we were done”

298Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwqzhJlzl9

“no, jim

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