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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAEGnDpURc

he wore camouflage pants

he had a scruffy moustache

and rough sideburns

he would cough every time he laughed

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXANdPSO9j5

he hugged pops when we arrived

and shook gail’s hand

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Kz0Dwq28Y

then he shook my hand

firmly

and ruffled the hair on the top of my head

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cHiwI7Xtg

“nice to see you, jim” he grinned

showing less teeth than i expected

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKpqpTY0yw

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0B7T8xIue

we settled down

and put our luggage in the rooms where we were sleeping

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4O13AMee5

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ701WBytwv9

at least i had a room to myself

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9pq7mCbgT

there was no wifi at uncle seth’s house

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79ixopCbbb

and no reception

so there was no way for me to talk to pandora

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PGVOp2POi

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

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtchY9RPsKH

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLfGl0vGDN

uncle seth woke me up at 5 in the morning

“come fishing with me”

he whispered

“it’ll be fun.”

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYEYCx9OSB

“i’m a vegan”

i whispered back

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXsuLWB9qr

he scoffed

“no, really. you’ll love it.”

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUm5FoLmhL

he took me out to a bridge

over a lake

that was so quiet

i could hear my own heartbeat

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxlEYhGVUS

he showed me how to prepare a fishing rod

and we waited

lines in the water

for something to happen

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqE0IYqoNY

uncle seth took a lunchbox out of his satchel

“hungry?”

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZQaehEzoF

i nodded.

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOM9hYFW6R

he handed me a bun

he must have prepared?

before?

5 in the morning?

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRg4TWIAk0

i looked inside

it was ham

and cheese

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW24WPCVpq

would i rather kill a pig?

or force a cow to lactate for me?

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6K0x9rlgZ

why was life always like that?

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GKefNSTjg

“ham and cheese?” i muttered, quietly.

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa3lZiC8oo

“oh, yeah, boys don’t like pink food

“i’m sorry.”

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LofR62RNZ

i looked in his eyes for a sign of humour

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetisYYihpe

but he was being

serious

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOztyErGRb

“but, jim, you’ve got to believe me

“ham is a very manly food

“it’s meat, you know”

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6N4JxrbXv

“i know”

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewpQutGSYC

i ate the whole thing

two of them actually

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrr4FmTJnB

at least it’s food

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfpinC2cnD

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UbYuFeokA

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3ComAdngR

“we’re going hunting now”

uncle seth told them, excitedly

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV5Aa6sjqN

“i thought we were done”

315Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwKEbfIVoV

“no, jim

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