Murder
Chapter 10: The Shell and the Glasses
Perspective: Ralph

I still can’t believe that we killed Simon it seems impossible. Well I guess the way we act it is possible. I’m kind of mad at Piggy because he was saying that he thought that it was Simons own fault that he snuck up in the dark crawling. I don’t think that it was smart of him to do that but we still shouldn’t have just went over there and start stabbing him. He even was screaming and trying to tell us that he saw the beast and that it is just a parachutist. The illumination was true later he the parachutist flew over us and disappeared into the ocean.

Everyone was going barmy I don’t think anyone one knew what to do they were all in shock that they killed someone. But they also were saying that he was the one who acted like a pig. At least his spirit was purged from the island and he could go back home. I felt terrible I knew that we shouldn’t have gone to the feast. It was a theological party they all felt like they were in a tribe.

Tonight Jack came with his hunters they raided our camp and they beat us up. Jack was acting like he was the beastie. He was telling Piggy that he was going to take him and that he should come with him. Jack and the hunters scared Piggy so much that he had a asthma attack. We were all scared why couldn’t they just leave us alone it was getting annoying they were scaring the littluns and us. Later they were up on the mountain and they made leverage for a rock and they were guarding the mountain. This became a fight between the two of us and the people that were with us. I knew this was going to result in another person getting killed.
