Today was such a tiring day. To be honest, everyone is a slacker except for Ralph, Jack and I. I was working on the shelters all day. All day, just me and Ralph, while all of the littluns, hunters and stragglers are doing absolutely nothing. To make things even more frustrating, I am starting to dislike this whole island survival thing as the days go. We do not really work together. All of us. Some of us just contribute absolutely nothing. If we all don't work together, we will not survive. The dead/missing littlun is the product of our fault to unite and we can't even realize the reality of this situation and work as one? This can't get any worse. They don't realize it. They think they are here to have fun without any ties to society. That will cause chaos. We are all dependant on adults, society, etc. We are just a bunch of kids brought right from a bubble of innocence into the harsh reality of independance. They don't realize yet. Also, the littluns are of absolute no use. They run around like little critters. Ralph cannot control them. He is not as good as I thought.
Lets see, what else? Oh yeah, I took a walk in the forest today as well with the littluns. I saw acres of fruit trees. I gave the littluns the fruit they could not reach. I left them and I went into deeper jungle. It was full of odds and creepers. The air felt dark. As I walked more, I found dark aromatic bushes. I saw a big fallen tree that was being supported by other trees. For a second I thought there was something there with me. Something inhuman. Like the spirit of nature. That place seemed so peaceful. So perfect to just let go of all of the worries. So serene. As it got darker, the place became cooler. The place became so dark and peaceful. Maybe, just maybe, I can get used to this.
Simon, I agree with you. The littl'uns don't really do work and neither does Piggy and the others. But I hunt, food is a necessity for survival on this island. Right now you have to do a lot of work. But not as much as me. Bringing back food is so hard! And when I got back, you just up and left. You waited until now to tell us you were in the forest? So selfish. I could've brought back a pig tonight I swear I could've if you hadn't decided to leave the camp grounds unannounced. But instead I was looking for you!
