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

uncle seth said he remembered me

i didn’t remember him

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F4WjbacIo

he wore camouflage pants

he had a scruffy moustache

and rough sideburns

he would cough every time he laughed

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2WjmntYLz

he hugged pops when we arrived

and shook gail’s hand

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyY1S95Mqe

then he shook my hand

firmly

and ruffled the hair on the top of my head

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ8D6L84WZ

“nice to see you, jim” he grinned

showing less teeth than i expected

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcctZonx3Z

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GE2YIydoQ

we settled down

and put our luggage in the rooms where we were sleeping

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvYNiKV3L7

i didn’t want to know

that gail and pops

would be in the same bed

but i hated myself for caring

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrxBXy9FWl

at least i had a room to myself

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWSgm2M6mK

there was no wifi at uncle seth’s house

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR2iaI4vur

and no reception

so there was no way for me to talk to pandora

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYjpFwdZiD

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

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCR7WZehQ0

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMBC0emKtv

uncle seth woke me up at 5 in the morning

“come fishing with me”

he whispered

“it’ll be fun.”

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVsgNjQf1Z

“i’m a vegan”

i whispered back

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EMlG58Top

he scoffed

“no, really. you’ll love it.”

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rCrjlKixb

he took me out to a bridge

over a lake

that was so quiet

i could hear my own heartbeat

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkSpDrLzMl

he showed me how to prepare a fishing rod

and we waited

lines in the water

for something to happen

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z0jmazok6

uncle seth took a lunchbox out of his satchel

“hungry?”

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbkDr0LnpL

i nodded.

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXErg3yJYFS

he handed me a bun

he must have prepared?

before?

5 in the morning?

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnOPvifyMy

i looked inside

it was ham

and cheese

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5zwgO6j2i

would i rather kill a pig?

or force a cow to lactate for me?

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz4Si4aftj

why was life always like that?

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugiYQSh35F

“ham and cheese?” i muttered, quietly.

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kma3MAnSY

“oh, yeah, boys don’t like pink food

“i’m sorry.”

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcns4FIvZKg

i looked in his eyes for a sign of humour

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAeSjE8oMh

but he was being

serious

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB6OZQieef

“but, jim, you’ve got to believe me

“ham is a very manly food

“it’s meat, you know”

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8M0pFHuKK

“i know”

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxrHuJznTs

i ate the whole thing

two of them actually

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxHdPcQbTS

at least it’s food

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oZnFNMSbB

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqYcyo4QsR

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

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYNXGVKcZB

“we’re going hunting now”

uncle seth told them, excitedly

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlVqgBkHbW

“i thought we were done”

268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvAiYZwjQL

“no, jim

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