Jack

What's happening to us? Why are we all falling apart? Is it really this hard to stay together? I was joking before, when I said we'd start killing each other. I didn't think it'd really happen to us, that we'd really kill someone. But look now. Simon's dead. And just who's behind it? None other than that no good Jack. Why does he hate me? I haven't done anything to him... No, it's him who has done everything to me. He can't do this to me anymore. I'm going to confront him personally and make him give back Piggy's specs and the fire. He's such a bloody thief. If I hadn't known better I would think that there was no beast that he was just trying to control the boys and ruin my life and that he was the beast. He sure acts like one, no doubt about that. Well, he'll see. When we get rescued on our side of the island, he'll see just how much information he and his hunters get. Then he'll see the illumination of society and be purged of his savagery. He'll probably be so depressed by his sinful actions he'll become theological for the rest of his life until he goes barmy with old age. Oh, I'd love to see that. I shouldn't be saying this, but I'd really love to see him suffer. But I'm not going to say it out loud, or I might become as bad as him, and then there'd be no hope of rescue anymore. I know none of his hunters want to be rescued and neither does he. If I started running around crazy, no one will ever get off this island whether they like it or not. I sure as anything hope everything works out.
