Chapter 12: “Cry of the Hunters”

My title “Hide or Die”

Perspective: Ralph

Dear Diary,

It has been a crazy life and I sure will remember this until I die. I can still have dreams about what happened I can feel the open dripping blood coming out my rib when I sleep. Every time I sleep I remember the day the hunters had their dark side take over them. The ululation still goes around my head as I remember how I was really close to dying. Oh I wish I could have confronted Jack its almost my fault Simon and Piggy have died. I could have confronted Jack and none of these riots or deaths would have happened. The diddle moves by Jack always caused us trouble making us betray each other as he made our whole group break up and go our on ways and make two separate tribes. The distended pain I had in my body had me going crazy but I didn't turn all evil as I stayed the same and I was myself not trying to show off. If I would have only confronted Jack face to face things would have been better. We would be working as a complete tribe helping each other out. As I confronted the Naval officer it was like confronting a brick wall as it stood tall ready to attack. During the last hours on the island I thought this would be the end of me as I had to think on my toes with cuts and blood dripping it was hide or die as I couldn't have anything else to save unless a miracle. So my miracle was the naval office with his epaulettes shinning on my face it felt like a god shining on me. I felt like giving up like before how I gave up my chances to trying to confront Jack but this time I had to go until I had nothing in me.
