Matthew Shorty
Lord of the Flies Part
2
After seeing the naval officer, Jack and his crew
stopped coming toward me. I was relieved because I thought I
would be killed. I also thought about the deaths of
Simon and Piggy and the happiness of being saved, and I just sat down
on the beach, sobbing. The naval officer picked me up and brought me
to the chopper they had come in. He tried calming me down by asking, "What's
your name, son?"
"My name is Ralph," I answered.
"Now tell me from the beginning what happened?" he
asked seriously.
As I wiped the tears off my face, I told the
officer, "It began when all of a sudden the engine on our plane
started to fail and smoke and oil were blowing out of two little
holes."
"What were these holes made by?" the officer
said.
"They were made by shots from a fighter plane," I
replied. "Then we started to descend from the air. The boys were
panicking, and I tried to calm them down and tell them to prepare to
crash. Then we crashed right into the ocean. The boys scrambled to
get out the door and when everyone was out a life boat was
launched."
"So that's how you guys got here. What else
happened?" asked the officer.
"After landing on the island we organized
ourselves. There was a hunting group, a fire group, a fruit-gathering
group, and a shelter-building group. At first it was fine. The
organizations were cooperating. But everything started to fall
apart," I told the officer.
"What happened next?" asked the
officer.
"Then another group was formed from the hunting
group. This group was led by Jack and had their shelter on the other
side of the island. They called it Castle Rock. Jack's group would
always go hunting. Once they invited us to go eat with them at their
place. After eating with Jack's group, Piggy and the littleuns and I
went back to our shelters. During the night Jack's group came to our
shelter to steal Piggy's glasses. The next day Piggy and I went back
to Castle Rock. We tried persuading Jack to give back Piggy's
glasses, then all of sudden Roger pushed a big boulder over the cliff
and it fell on Piggy. Piggy died instantly, then Jack, Roger and the
other boys started to hit me with rocks, so I ran away from them.
They were gonna kill me too till I stumbled across you," I told the
officer.
The officer then told his men to take Jack and his
boys to a different chopper. I rode with the officer in his chopper.
As we left I saw the island burning up in flames. I sat in the
chopper thinking of all the damage we had done to the island. And I
thought of home.
When we got home they rushed me to the hospital. I
was met there by my parents. They were so overwhelmed to see me they
started crying.
I stayed in the hospital for one week, and just
before I got out a military legal counsellor came to my room and
introduced himself to me. He then asked me if I wanted to talk to him
about how Jack and his boys had killed Piggy and Simon on the island.
He told me I could put the boys away for killing the other
two.
Years afterward, I had nightmares about what had
happened. To make me feel better I would visit the graves of Piggy
and Simon. Much later in my older years I saw Jack, and we had a
short coversation. But after we talked to each other we went our
different ways. 1 was traveling to my daughter's place to see my
little granddaughter. He was on his way to see his
granddaughter.
Even to this day, I still have terrible nightmares
about all that happened.
