Fire


Ralph: Ralph is the surviving kid’s leader. He doesn’t know much about being a leader although he was volunteered and voted for by the kids more then anything. He doesn’t know how to control the kids or even be a leader.
What’s that way out on the horizon? Ahhh it’s probably just my imagination or a mirage. O well. Hey what’s Simon looking at, hmmm must be that little dot on the horizon. Wait a second it can’t be a mirage because a mirage only works on one person. Then that’s not fake and it’s a ship or some kind of machine! Wait theres no smoke! Why isn’t there any smoke, we should have smoke. No they didn’t leave there post did they. O I’m going to kill them if there not there. Ow ooo ooo ow ooo ow o I hate this mountain and I hate the twins if there not there.
O no there not here, wait why is there a pile of wood here not lit though, o no we can’t light it either because of that fatty that’s soooo slow to get up the mountain! O no what shall we do!
What’s that chanting? I hear chanting. “Kill the pig, slit her throat, kill the pig.” O great just what we need, jack going off into hysteria about killing a pig and him being even meaner to piggy. O geez this night is full of surprises.
“You let the fire go out!” said Ralph. “Ya but we killed the pig!” said jack. “There was a boat, you let the fire go out!” said Ralph. “But we killed the pig!” said jack again. “Ya and while your out there killing some pig, you let our probably only chance to be saved let go!” chimed in piggy. “O you shut up!” shouted jack. Before I know it jack had punched piggy in the stomach and our only source of a fire started was broken.
