Pig

Jack. The feast. Beast. Us. Simon. Us.So many thoughts running through
my head. And now I wonder. are we all beyond redemption now? We
murdered Simon. And we enjoyed it. No! I wasn't part of the circle, I
wasn't. I couldn't have been. Ralph either. Jack and Roger and Robert
and Maurice and all of them were in the circle. Me an' Ralph an'
Samneric... We're the sensible ones on this island. And our sense
proves that we weren't in that circle. And Simon was all batty too.
This island will probably be better without him. Oh, just listen to
me. I'm trying to fool myself like a guilty criminal would. I'm just
going to try to forget all about it. Jack killed Simon and that's
that. Oh, I wish we would get rescued. This is all getting out of
control and I should know. If only a grown-up were here. If only, if
only my auntie... But no. Right now, there's no grown-ups on this
island and we're going to have to act civil in the mean time, act like
adults. And I'm going to be the first to do it. From now on, I'm going
to be the grown-up on the island, and sucks to the others if they
don't like it. And this rule will hold for me even when I'm talking to Jack or Roger with all his corpulence, because I've seen the phosphorescence of goodness. But what I'm worried about is, will the other boys on
this island want a grown-up?
