Some People Just Have Bad Ideas

I can’t believe it. Piggy. Dead. He’s gone. I can’t imagine how Ralph is feeling. Probably lost and alone. It was a delirious moment.

I was watching from the sidelines. They really shouldn’t have gone to get Piggy’s glasses. Piggy can live without them. I mean, yeah, he won’t be able to see a bit. I was seriously going to scream, if I was still alive. Jack shouldn’t have blamed this on Ralph. Piggy’s death was most certainly not Ralph’s fault. Jack is being to hard on Ralph. Piggy was like a talisman. He always kept Ralph on his feet.

As I watched the rocks hit Piggy I gasped. As I saw the rocks hit his face, I saw his nose break. I saw him shed a tear. I saw his has cruel up into fits and I saw him lip the words “Goodbye Ralph.” I understand why he wouldn’t be able to say it out loud. He was probably too weak. I saw Piggy’s eyes go in to a cessation for a moment and then shut. He fell and fell I saw. When he hit the ground, I saw his entire body break and bleed. I bet when he’s up here with me, he’ll me “I felt so cold.” Before you die, all of this coldness rushes up to you. I saw the conch break into 10 pieces and they flew everywhere. About 4 pieces flew threw me. The rest flew into the ocean.

When Jack said those cold words I saw Ralph’s face break. His face wasn’t filled truculently, it was filled with sadness. When he ran, I followed. After about a mile of running, he fell on his knees and he cried in his hands. He lifted his head up and screamed as loud as he could. I saw him cry harder. I went back to Jack’s part of the island and I saw him say to Samneric, “You’re joining my tribe now.” I went back to Ralph as soon as fast as I could. I couldn’t believe it. He lost everything. Samneric, power, friends, me, and most of all, Piggy. I felt a cold feeling and I almost broke. I wanted to be there for Ralph so badly. I saw him cry and cry non stop. He got up and yelled, “WHY JACK, WHY? YOU TOOK EVERYTHING AWAY FROM ME.” Ralph was now ad incomplete person. He shed his last tear then fell on the ground and cried. I started crying sprit tears. Ralph, I’m sorry.
