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

uncle seth said he remembered me

i didn’t remember him

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0S2BHe0a3

he wore camouflage pants

he had a scruffy moustache

and rough sideburns

he would cough every time he laughed

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRbl1KqAmW

he hugged pops when we arrived

and shook gail’s hand

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgVlFIs8zJ

then he shook my hand

firmly

and ruffled the hair on the top of my head

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA0tq93tJ6

“nice to see you, jim” he grinned

showing less teeth than i expected

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUtPWuDTTg

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fkjG3aVWm

we settled down

and put our luggage in the rooms where we were sleeping

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgkTg8ctLo

i didn’t want to know

that gail and pops

would be in the same bed

but i hated myself for caring

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY7HiLAwN0

at least i had a room to myself

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeNQSjyvgb

there was no wifi at uncle seth’s house

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfk0infYax

and no reception

so there was no way for me to talk to pandora

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnDU9uNt3a

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

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqL4kCCV32

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3Gesr0GQ0

uncle seth woke me up at 5 in the morning

“come fishing with me”

he whispered

“it’ll be fun.”

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPYt3irpHB

“i’m a vegan”

i whispered back

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvNkBMIr78

he scoffed

“no, really. you’ll love it.”

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuRPUAl504

he took me out to a bridge

over a lake

that was so quiet

i could hear my own heartbeat

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRCk3nLioF

he showed me how to prepare a fishing rod

and we waited

lines in the water

for something to happen

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyje7hh3vuv

uncle seth took a lunchbox out of his satchel

“hungry?”

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSk4DhQQhc

i nodded.

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnYvCIbwqn

he handed me a bun

he must have prepared?

before?

5 in the morning?

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8oefsrwES

i looked inside

it was ham

and cheese

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZlxDtXoyy

would i rather kill a pig?

or force a cow to lactate for me?

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbeZjt7VR8

why was life always like that?

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DnNzzGJfO

“ham and cheese?” i muttered, quietly.

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMTeBdxaLM

“oh, yeah, boys don’t like pink food

“i’m sorry.”

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdD5gyyOus

i looked in his eyes for a sign of humour

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC3LYVAskl

but he was being

serious

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsK8P8Oblj

“but, jim, you’ve got to believe me

“ham is a very manly food

“it’s meat, you know”

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pPlCGqDch

“i know”

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7jKDimunD

i ate the whole thing

two of them actually

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGJ1WJ4lGU

at least it’s food

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTrq96tEBN

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7AHJd0eHc

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

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2pxtA2E0n

“we’re going hunting now”

uncle seth told them, excitedly

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvrjpDMqL4

“i thought we were done”

252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGilNlS3RUR

“no, jim

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