The Sound of The Shell - Chapter 1
Untitled - by Simon
Living on this island is just weird, and scary. Just knowing that someone might never be able to find us is just incredulous. Today the choir and I heard a trumpet-like sound so Jack led us to the beach full of kids. Jack ordered us into lines and he told us to stand still. I stood next to twins that had hair of tow. All of a sudden, I fainted, and broke the line. I’ve fainted before, like at a matins over the precentor. I awoke later and sat against a palm trunk.
Since there are no grown-ups, we had to choose a leader. The leader was between Ralph or Jack. All of the boys in the choir (including me) chose for Jack, just because he pretty much controlled the choir. Everyone else voted for Ralph to be chief. Jack wanted to be the chief really badly. I could tell by his reaction when he lost. The freckles on his face looked like it disappeared. But to be fair, Ralph told Jack that he could be in charge of the choir. As soon as he said that, the suffusion came away from Jack’s face. The choir is now Jack’s hunters.
Later, Ralph and Jack decided to go on an expedition to look around the island. Out of everyone else, they decided to choose me to come. I stood up and laughed a bit. Piggy was supposed to come but Ralph sent him to go do another job. So anyways, we tried to climb up the mountain. The journey was really dirty, hot, and exhausting. We later found a big rock that was as large as a small motor car. The three of us came up with the idea to push it over. The rock fell over, and smashed a deep hole into the forest. We were glad that we accomplished something.
We got to reach the top of the mountain and we discovered water on every side of the island. We got hungry later and found a pig that was tangled in the vines and Jack was going to kill it with the knife he had. Just as he was about to kill it, the pig tore loose and ran away. |
