Chapter 1: The Sound of the Shell
Perspective: Piggy
Leave me behind?
Strange, being trapped on this island. Haven't expected this, not at all. How could this have happened? The worst part about being stranded on this island is that the first person I met almost completely ignored me. Well, at least until I told him one of my darkest secrets, which I wanted NO ONE to know about... Still, he's not all that bad. I would have to say that this hasn't been my best day. Still, Ralph and I found out that we weren't the only ones in this place. Finding the conch was lucky, really. This way the children won't run amok and cause trouble. Still, I can't believe he's so ignorant. Everything I say, brushed off of his shoulder.
Still, I have to say that Ralph would have been the best choice for leader, seeing as he had the conch, and a good feeling about him. It would be only natural to pick him, seeing as all the other candidates weren't much better. That Jack seems not the best to be leader. He simply loves power, can't get enough. Even if it means sacrificing our freedom, he will probably do it for himself. I still don't get why he chose Jack and Simon over me. I've been with him the longest, it should be me who goes with him. I hope they're okay.
I sure hope that our streak of luck continues. We were lucky enough to find the conch and gather everyone. Hopefully we'll find more about this island. All we know right now is that we crash-landed from an airplane, and that there are more people than just me and Ralph. I'm just thankful that we're not dead yet. If we just keep up our morale and keep working hard, we just might survive long enough to make it off this dreadful island.
