We've been here for a while now, can't say how long; the days have begun to scramble together. Our diet consists of fruit and more fruit, but I'm going to change that. There are wild pigs on this island, and I'm going to kill one. Everyday my hunters and I venture into the thick of the woods and stock these creatures. I've made spears and even wounded a pig with one, but the wood is not enough to fatally wound them. I need barbs or metal tips to fulfill this killing task. Ralph seems annoyed with my efforts, but his building attempts haven't amounted to much either. The little 'uns do nothing but play in the water and search for fruit; at least they're capable of getting their own food, they're not totally helpless. Piggy is consistent with his know-it-all attitude, he does nothing to contribute to our tribe. He is lazy and quite worthless to our existence, an existence that is being challenged everyday. How many more are missing? Maybe we should kill Piggy, that would supply us with sufficient amount of meat and it could be dried in order to preserve it for later use. No one would need to know....Cannibalism? Bloody hell, I am losing it! I do hate him though. He is dead weight for us to haul and support. Why is Ralph in charge? Is food not more important than shelters? There are things is this forest, always watching us. The little 'uns are scared, I'm scared...We must stay strong and keep order. Humans are on top of the food chain and I'll keep us on top, until we are rescued. We will be rescued, won't we?
Sincerely,
Jack
Great work, Katie!
