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

uncle seth said he remembered me

i didn’t remember him

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2rzmNvtGn

he wore camouflage pants

he had a scruffy moustache

and rough sideburns

he would cough every time he laughed

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N793bc88u

he hugged pops when we arrived

and shook gail’s hand

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJLgRwCaoc

then he shook my hand

firmly

and ruffled the hair on the top of my head

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4bFmGkWh7

“nice to see you, jim” he grinned

showing less teeth than i expected

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3tLmuu8J5

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiut0v51Ln

we settled down

and put our luggage in the rooms where we were sleeping

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH4iCtoVzB

i didn’t want to know

that gail and pops

would be in the same bed

but i hated myself for caring

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFJQicXSzO

at least i had a room to myself

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYALIUT6eOL

there was no wifi at uncle seth’s house

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N96FzcgKa

and no reception

so there was no way for me to talk to pandora

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwEeGd3YLb

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

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeU5KCIgvY

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54a5JqSe68

uncle seth woke me up at 5 in the morning

“come fishing with me”

he whispered

“it’ll be fun.”

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuESQnajSOI

“i’m a vegan”

i whispered back

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oOaq3UT8E

he scoffed

“no, really. you’ll love it.”

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJeRGlEQq2

he took me out to a bridge

over a lake

that was so quiet

i could hear my own heartbeat

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7JCc3fnZ1

he showed me how to prepare a fishing rod

and we waited

lines in the water

for something to happen

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0RzNTcoux

uncle seth took a lunchbox out of his satchel

“hungry?”

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG56rbJMa6

i nodded.

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhfq1UzlMS

he handed me a bun

he must have prepared?

before?

5 in the morning?

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa7EmLVMBS

i looked inside

it was ham

and cheese

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBbhlxCbLH

would i rather kill a pig?

or force a cow to lactate for me?

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmBWJGjO5w

why was life always like that?

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd40cEU5rCR

“ham and cheese?” i muttered, quietly.

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmddwLAPmf

“oh, yeah, boys don’t like pink food

“i’m sorry.”

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KvpK7CKVw

i looked in his eyes for a sign of humour

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzfydMMwst

but he was being

serious

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHZUG039eQ

“but, jim, you’ve got to believe me

“ham is a very manly food

“it’s meat, you know”

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNRB4QPa5V

“i know”

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvSppPrad9

i ate the whole thing

two of them actually

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbqtIw7R2a

at least it’s food

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDrMQ815cF

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkf8ZI0h3O

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

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yiiQxGQaA

“we’re going hunting now”

uncle seth told them, excitedly

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA7btmdUux

“i thought we were done”

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRCxgtbj11

“no, jim

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