Goodbye Piggy

I didn’t know what I was going to do, should we go to Jacks side of the island and ask for Piggy specs politely. Or maybe we should attack his tribe and steal the specs back from him like he did to us. Nonsense I thought to myself he has about twenty boys on his tribe and about 4-5 kids on my side, and half of them are littluns! I’m pretty sure that all that they’ll do was laugh at us. I miss that Simon, he was one of my best friends on this island and I couldn’t believe that I was involved with his death. It hurts just to think about it. It’s all Jacks fault! Everything is his fault! The death of the littlun with a scar on his face was his fault, Simon’s death is his entire fault, and I bet World War 2 all started because of him! I hate him why does he have to ruin everyone’s time here on the island? We should be having fun and trying to get rescued, all he ever thinks about is hunting, dancing, and singing that stupid chant. I guess that we’re going to have to just ask him for the specs.
I had to hold Piggy’s hand to lead him the way to Jacks side of the island. I wonder what its like to be blind, but I’m glad I have perfect eyesight so I don’t have to hold someone’s hand. There was a cessation, I stopped because we were at Jacks side. I couldn’t believe what he had done to the place since a couple days ago, there was like a wall of rocks to keep intruders from passing. “Stay here” I told Piggy. Roger was on the top of the wall and told me to stop. I told him that we wanted Piggys specs and we won’t leave until we got them back. Jack came out from the forest and told us that he wasn’t going to give us the specs. I got so mad that I wanted to kill him. What did we ever do to him? I never did anything to him and he has to treat us with disrespect? I noticed that Piggy had token the conch with him and he was using it as some kind of talisman. Jack seemed to get upset and he hit me with his spear. Ow! Truculently we came closer to each other and started to fight. He had the others tie up Sameneric and it looked like he was full with power. That scared me I’ve never seen someone with so much power before. All of the others were cheering and I was able to hear Piggy shouting “Don’t leave me here”. I looked up once again and I saw Roger on top and he was delirious and he pushed the lever with all of his strength. Piggy was right underneath the rock. “Run Piggy run!” I shouted
I seemed that he wasn’t able to hear me. The rock bounced off the wall and crashed onto Piggy’s head. The conch fell and shattered into a million pieces. Piggy fell forty feet and he landed on his back. His head cracked open and his brain was spilling out into the interminable ocean. His brainless body slipped away with the waves. Goodbye Piggy, I’ll miss you…
