Summary: Piggy writes a letter in a bottle
To who ever discovers the note,
It is with great regret that I must be the one to write all that has happened on this island it is with even more regret that you must be the one to learn about our journey. The Trans-Atlantic Flight 3161 crashed on an island in the South Pacific most likely some time ago. I do not follow time any longer so I cannot tell you how long we have been stranded here but I can say that it has been long enough to invoke madness among us all.
Before or group split we all were fairly happy living alone on this island. But as time went on two boys, both seen as our chiefs, began to argue over what was most important on the island. Of course Ralph was right and Jack was wrong, everyone should have been able to see it. But Jack's ferocity and persuasiveness and extended time on the island caused most of the bigguns to follow him on his senseless hunts.
We murdered Simon, I can admit that now. We murdered Simon with the dance and chant. Even I with my thought could not fight the desire to hurt another being. It used to make me cry at night to know how savage we could really be. But now I have learned to live with this knowledge. Ralph and Jack fought near the cliffs of Castle Rock after Jack and his tribe stole my glasses.
Ralph won, savagely killing Jack in front of all of his followers. The hatred in his eyes and crimson blood dripping off of his hands shone out like a beacon to us all. The painted boys subsided and gave in to the rightful ruler. In this way Ralph rebuilt his leadership, for a time.
Fights broke loose later on and a few more were brutally slain. Ralph and I tried to hold the tribe together but a loathing of Ralph's authority repelled them from us. We still have the signal fire blazing but there are few thinking of rescue and that is why I am writing this message. Please come before our hope burns out and we forget who we are. The remaining students of the London Boys Charter School thank whoever finds this message.
