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

uncle seth said he remembered me

i didn’t remember him

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNhvidmZYJ

he wore camouflage pants

he had a scruffy moustache

and rough sideburns

he would cough every time he laughed

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSiDdFW75O

he hugged pops when we arrived

and shook gail’s hand

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCm6IEOBjr

then he shook my hand

firmly

and ruffled the hair on the top of my head

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtNADme3S3

“nice to see you, jim” he grinned

showing less teeth than i expected

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxklQi7iF6

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2Q6mHmosx

we settled down

and put our luggage in the rooms where we were sleeping

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ik0R69qfF

i didn’t want to know

that gail and pops

would be in the same bed

but i hated myself for caring

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WsrbzYNyA

at least i had a room to myself

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBdKKDeXGP

there was no wifi at uncle seth’s house

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSIjbR7Xm1

and no reception

so there was no way for me to talk to pandora

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy15L9lIFj

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

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0CCVawwJR

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DvcrwWk2V

uncle seth woke me up at 5 in the morning

“come fishing with me”

he whispered

“it’ll be fun.”

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cUp4A1w8Q

“i’m a vegan”

i whispered back

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIte0U1PANC

he scoffed

“no, really. you’ll love it.”

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAanMdV7ibY

he took me out to a bridge

over a lake

that was so quiet

i could hear my own heartbeat

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMeOPehj1h

he showed me how to prepare a fishing rod

and we waited

lines in the water

for something to happen

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVzHUAqFnr

uncle seth took a lunchbox out of his satchel

“hungry?”

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW900p50iC

i nodded.

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMflMpKEor6

he handed me a bun

he must have prepared?

before?

5 in the morning?

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0p5mY8hbH

i looked inside

it was ham

and cheese

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxHNfj6yFg

would i rather kill a pig?

or force a cow to lactate for me?

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0uD2WKMYh

why was life always like that?

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5O90Pcm0C

“ham and cheese?” i muttered, quietly.

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyRvMLzUBx

“oh, yeah, boys don’t like pink food

“i’m sorry.”

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeLEexY8Z1

i looked in his eyes for a sign of humour

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTIJG3Xv9i

but he was being

serious

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFA5DCIpY1

“but, jim, you’ve got to believe me

“ham is a very manly food

“it’s meat, you know”

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmln6YY7Loi

“i know”

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVIHQPzte2

i ate the whole thing

two of them actually

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTAyhXL3uU

at least it’s food

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf2H7MUttA

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamEQGGPFo8

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

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RlmbTo3oc

“we’re going hunting now”

uncle seth told them, excitedly

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCwijYaWA1

“i thought we were done”

282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5d67TluSG

“no, jim

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