Lord Of The Flies; Chapter 2 – Fire On The Mountain

“Flames Of Doom”



Piggy,
Dear Journal,
Today was one heck of a hectic day! Those errant boys! Acting like little kids running around! Ralph declares they need a fire on top of the mountain, and they run up like little kids! When they got all the wood, they pinched my specks to light the fire. Oh yeah there was also this kid with a mark on his face. He kept talking about some “beastie” which comes out at night. Ralph seemed a bit high strung about there not being a beastie. The small kid it looked like a snake and that it wanted to eat him. Ralph says it was a nightmare, but Jack said if they found it they’d kill it. Then both got into an argument until Jack induced Ralph to just play along. Then Ralph was wearing some martyred expression. At the top of the mountain they were capering about. Then Jack told me to shut up because he claimed that I didn’t help. Simon defended me though, he said I helped by sharing my specks. I think he’s a good friend. Then the fire got out of control and the flames spread to the forest. We noticed before the forest fire that little kids were down there, and we couldn’t find the kid with a mark on his face. I hope he’s ok. Well, that’s all for today.
