Shadows and Tall Trees

The Beast Hunt

Perspective: Simon

 

I had a seizure today! I cant belive myself! I was shocked, I thought that the doctor said I would have no more seizures, and that my epilepsy was gone now that I am older but no. I squeezed a brine covered rock as hard as I could, and tried to stay under control, but it was not easy. Ralph seemed impervious to noticing my plight, which kind of frusturated me, but I guess he didn't think anything of it, he must have been thinking about something. I worry about Ralph sometimes, I think he has it really hard. Arguing with Jack over getting his priorites straight has really taken a toll on his emotions. I don't know how he deals with it sometimes. But it did not seem to hinder him from stabbing the huge boar that we found today! Ralph stabbed the beast with bravado I've never seen in his eyes before. Living on the moors could never have prepared for that kind of attack. I don't know about the other boys but to me, seeing that great beast jump out from behind the creepers was terrifying. So when Ralph said  that when one of us needed to go back and tell Piggy that we would be longer than expected, I immediately stepped up and volunteered to go back even though I would have to go back through the woods alone. I feel bad for Piggy at times too. Jack ridicules him, like the fat boy at a rugger. I could tell that when I gave him meat it gave him a lot of strength and hope to go on.  I hope when I arrive Piggy will be alright, but until then, I must go.
