Chapter 2- Fire on the Mountain

"blazing on the horizon"
Perspective-Simon

Dear Diary,
This island is just full of creepers, us, and the beastie. The little-uns say they saw it and it is scary but I think it is just a bunch of rubbish. So is this island.

Ralph induced everyone we should make a signal fire to get rescued, and then jack and the hunters run off to start one. Then it got bigger and bigger, so big that it was out of control. It is still burning and we have to wait to see if it will burn itself out. The little boy with the mark on his face, that told us about the beastie was out in the forest when the fire started to spread. I think he is dead now but we are not sure.

Those other boys don't understand me I will pinch all of their food and kill them for food. They think I am weak because I faint a lot but I will show them. At night I think about my family, if we will survive, and how we will survive. I don't think we will survive or be rescued because we are just kids.
