Gift For The Darkness

Simon's Jounal

After Jack finally declared that there is definitely, we settled up on the mountain until a new day came. We traveled back to the beach, with frightened faces. Ralph said that it was far too dangerous to go up the mountain or even go into the jungle. We started lighting a fire on the beach, hoping we will never have to go on the mountain again. Then Jack started mutinously talking about how Ralph should not be leader because he was afraid of the beast. I knew exactly what Jack was trying to do, he was trying to be chief. Flailing his arms up in the air, Jack tried to throw Ralph out of power. This conflict was interminable but at the end, no one wanted jack to be leader like they all wanted to be embroiled. Waxy, Jack walked away saying that he will start his own society and anyone who wanted to join him was free to. A few hours after, i walked down the beach a few miles and saw a pig's head, with flies swarming around it like bee's protecting its hive. It started talking to me, like a psychiatrist. I knew it was all in my head but it seemed interesting because it helped me figure out the unsolved mysteries in my head.
