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

uncle seth said he remembered me

i didn’t remember him

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5un5K3f21t

he wore camouflage pants

he had a scruffy moustache

and rough sideburns

he would cough every time he laughed

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWB4DJRtVH

he hugged pops when we arrived

and shook gail’s hand

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e4LKBYqXK

then he shook my hand

firmly

and ruffled the hair on the top of my head

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWxZULY5z5

“nice to see you, jim” he grinned

showing less teeth than i expected

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttCtq0XaJh

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp1LoD7VE4

we settled down

and put our luggage in the rooms where we were sleeping

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwmnNCLrFG

i didn’t want to know

that gail and pops

would be in the same bed

but i hated myself for caring

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1FYAQyjiY

at least i had a room to myself

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGuh0RubJq

there was no wifi at uncle seth’s house

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYWxjskeOo

and no reception

so there was no way for me to talk to pandora

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB9I6NzMJD

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

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRWnaG1SWB

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tyGFhthJH

uncle seth woke me up at 5 in the morning

“come fishing with me”

he whispered

“it’ll be fun.”

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcthApLiis5

“i’m a vegan”

i whispered back

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdgITAmWwt

he scoffed

“no, really. you’ll love it.”

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegk7MHQ3lm

he took me out to a bridge

over a lake

that was so quiet

i could hear my own heartbeat

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ376TuGjxw7

he showed me how to prepare a fishing rod

and we waited

lines in the water

for something to happen

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFcttqtxKt

uncle seth took a lunchbox out of his satchel

“hungry?”

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lU4Mpaorc

i nodded.

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEAlUFVbGl

he handed me a bun

he must have prepared?

before?

5 in the morning?

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R9YUPtZC7

i looked inside

it was ham

and cheese

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrJmgIdmXk

would i rather kill a pig?

or force a cow to lactate for me?

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS9J70gfm6

why was life always like that?

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33zRvEz8P9

“ham and cheese?” i muttered, quietly.

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj14GxeUNR2

“oh, yeah, boys don’t like pink food

“i’m sorry.”

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdQwx8Sj4Z

i looked in his eyes for a sign of humour

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqTqN8Kr3h

but he was being

serious

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGSBBK2aCH

“but, jim, you’ve got to believe me

“ham is a very manly food

“it’s meat, you know”

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbtg8taGqg

“i know”

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGlJbOTpwT

i ate the whole thing

two of them actually

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaXnL4hZN7

at least it’s food

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXXM1hwjda

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4plktcn7vZ

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

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0UdseVLZg

“we’re going hunting now”

uncle seth told them, excitedly

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mXx0j3a2Q

“i thought we were done”

249Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQwuq41YjD

“no, jim

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