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

uncle seth said he remembered me

i didn’t remember him

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaMiXqhUQ9

he wore camouflage pants

he had a scruffy moustache

and rough sideburns

he would cough every time he laughed

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Nfussli1d

he hugged pops when we arrived

and shook gail’s hand

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO0ZzfsPNN

then he shook my hand

firmly

and ruffled the hair on the top of my head

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IzWsTYApx

“nice to see you, jim” he grinned

showing less teeth than i expected

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZC5tVeaM8

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWX2ruWUxT

we settled down

and put our luggage in the rooms where we were sleeping

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyoQ7kXQEl

i didn’t want to know

that gail and pops

would be in the same bed

but i hated myself for caring

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMWz64yZsn

at least i had a room to myself

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXjkem4Edx

there was no wifi at uncle seth’s house

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXVAiKOeiE

and no reception

so there was no way for me to talk to pandora

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiExqibfYgL

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

uncle seth woke me up at 5 in the morning

“come fishing with me”

he whispered

“it’ll be fun.”

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrmELva9ur

“i’m a vegan”

i whispered back

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cTa8H9ZTO

he scoffed

“no, really. you’ll love it.”

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyVzmbxRRS

he took me out to a bridge

over a lake

that was so quiet

i could hear my own heartbeat

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHwoPXwDMX

he showed me how to prepare a fishing rod

and we waited

lines in the water

for something to happen

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU99YKIf9C3

uncle seth took a lunchbox out of his satchel

“hungry?”

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyM6iWM4lX

i nodded.

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagtrGjVqoJ

he handed me a bun

he must have prepared?

before?

5 in the morning?

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QolDeBz40

i looked inside

it was ham

and cheese

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVWdaOhz6g

would i rather kill a pig?

or force a cow to lactate for me?

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2nv8WCt5Q

why was life always like that?

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvpkNdUSFj

“ham and cheese?” i muttered, quietly.

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdspvvn0gv1

“oh, yeah, boys don’t like pink food

“i’m sorry.”

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTFVUHuCcl

i looked in his eyes for a sign of humour

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgpdmbDL0F

but he was being

serious

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmGMudl9si

“but, jim, you’ve got to believe me

“ham is a very manly food

“it’s meat, you know”

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe2ORtaExx

“i know”

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtTLDYckw2

i ate the whole thing

two of them actually

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4df344jfGP

at least it’s food

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmHsnuoTlC

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBNDXl07qJ

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

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOsApsSGhg

“we’re going hunting now”

uncle seth told them, excitedly

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamLecosMTi

“i thought we were done”

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4b3rkbF7l

“no, jim

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