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

uncle seth said he remembered me

i didn’t remember him

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBYpUW450R

he wore camouflage pants

he had a scruffy moustache

and rough sideburns

he would cough every time he laughed

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7udV4QX7S

he hugged pops when we arrived

and shook gail’s hand

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWoa8IaycA

then he shook my hand

firmly

and ruffled the hair on the top of my head

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQSfL3ZZIM

“nice to see you, jim” he grinned

showing less teeth than i expected

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaXZjbmIvI

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvxHFaKWI9

we settled down

and put our luggage in the rooms where we were sleeping

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEgA9cEQ9j

i didn’t want to know

that gail and pops

would be in the same bed

but i hated myself for caring

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeHAQByqcD

at least i had a room to myself

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZhQ9VJA2Y

there was no wifi at uncle seth’s house

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKkMhZxu4g

and no reception

so there was no way for me to talk to pandora

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF8AcXxNo8

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

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmOZR8L4Tn

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoin8TtRLOl

uncle seth woke me up at 5 in the morning

“come fishing with me”

he whispered

“it’ll be fun.”

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6EInHbWjF

“i’m a vegan”

i whispered back

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13VekcAmsv

he scoffed

“no, really. you’ll love it.”

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNQXPfj4Lf

he took me out to a bridge

over a lake

that was so quiet

i could hear my own heartbeat

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMGngLq28I

he showed me how to prepare a fishing rod

and we waited

lines in the water

for something to happen

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6urbIKNoT

uncle seth took a lunchbox out of his satchel

“hungry?”

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySIktlPGf9

i nodded.

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5XU2xaY0B

he handed me a bun

he must have prepared?

before?

5 in the morning?

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9YTWoe7t0

i looked inside

it was ham

and cheese

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVM0Yl8xVj

would i rather kill a pig?

or force a cow to lactate for me?

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJieD2LsHfo

why was life always like that?

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfEFRMTCnL

“ham and cheese?” i muttered, quietly.

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4YmYsys5D

“oh, yeah, boys don’t like pink food

“i’m sorry.”

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yKQfE3VtN

i looked in his eyes for a sign of humour

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfobUxAt0yW

but he was being

serious

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn9jnOf9xh

“but, jim, you’ve got to believe me

“ham is a very manly food

“it’s meat, you know”

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69YsyAmxSs

“i know”

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyy5RxQxyJ

i ate the whole thing

two of them actually

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA4b1SuflC

at least it’s food

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4QNpLLQ21

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuoMR8Id0c

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

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPozNNNJHP

“we’re going hunting now”

uncle seth told them, excitedly

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0glsIUzIkp

“i thought we were done”

314Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavaaEi3Zxy

“no, jim

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