Chapter 1 - The Sound of the Shell
“No Grown-ups?”
Perspective: Piggy

Dear Diary,
Today was incredulous. I was eating cookies peacefully in the airplane seat, when as soon as I notice, our plane crashes! I decided to leave my cookies and walk out quickly, considering I can’t run due to my asthma. I notice another boy, Ralph. He had a pallor face and seemed nice. He didn’t ask me what my name was, so I just decided to tell him. We decided to explore the area where we crashed. There were fronds everywhere, full of glamour and intricacies. We also found a nice spot, where there was a platform. There was also a small lake, we both decided to go in! The water was so warm, I felt like I was in hot fudge. While we were on the shore, Ralph found a suffusion in the water. He decided to go and get it. It was a conch shell! Never in my life, had I dreamt of finding one. I told Ralph that we might be able to call others with it. Ralph decided to blow it, and it made a noise of great enormity. Plenty of kids came, coming from every angle. Soon there was a boy named Jack and Simon. Jack was extremely bossy and never smiled. And Simon faints a lot. Guess I’m not the only “freak.” Jack is very dominant, probably because he is the leader of the choir. But the person that had the conch shell, had the power because they can call everyone. I am so proud of Ralph because he became chief. He became chief mostly because of the fact that he had the conch. The last thing that happened was the most devastating. Ralph became the chief of the land, he chose Simon and Jack to go on an expedition to find out if we were on an island. Instead of me. It was a slap in the face. Did I mention there were no adults? I want my Auntie! I’ll write to you as soon as I can Auntie!
