THERE IS A BEAST! #ileftthetribe
Hello all,
THERE IS A BEAST! When I went on the beast-hunt yesterday, I had not expected there to actually be a beast. But there was! D: It was terrifying. It sat up and looked at us, and it had teeth and big, black empty sockets where eyes should go. All in all, it was the most scary thing I have ever seen. I've been trying to put on a brave face, but I think Ralph knows that I was scared. Ralph was more scared though. He ran away first, and therefore has no right to judge me. I called a meeting. I tried to tell the tribe that I should be their chief, Ralph is a coward, and Ralph thought they were cowards. They didn't believe me. I asked them who they thought should be the chief, and they said Ralph. This marked the end of any association I wanted to have with that tribe. If they thought that Ralph, the coward who can't hunt and is all talk and no action, is the right leader, then they are idiots, and I refuse to be a part of their tribe.
I left the tribe. I went by myself and cried for a bit, but they can never know I cried. Then Bill and Roger came to me. Oh Roger. My brave supporter to the end. Then some more of the boys came. I realized that maybe being apart from Ralph's tribe didn't mean I had to be alone. I decided that I would form my own tribe, and we would hunt all day long and feast all night and ignore the beast. Who cares about Ralph and Piggy and the littluns? They are all wimps! I am chief of my own tribe now, and no one can stop me. This almost makes up for the existence of the fearsome beast.
