Dear Auntie, It s Me, Piggy - 880 Words
Dear Auntie, Itââ¬â¢s me, Piggy. I know that you will probably never receive this letter. I wish you could just come and rescue me. I bet you re wondering where I am, I am stranded on a godforsaken island. As I sit and write to you, there are dark clouds quilting the sky. I need to tell you everything. Even though I was worried when we arrived here, I could still recognise that this island was beautiful. There were crystal waters and tropical palms. Sand that crunched beneath your feet and coral that decorated the ocean floor. Looks can be very deceiving though, Auntie.

On the night of Simonââ¬â¢s death, I realised something, that everything started going wrong because of Jack, everything traced back to him, he led everyone into the descent of savagery, it had gone too far. With the barbaric, animalistic murder of Simon, the last fragment of civilised order on the island was stripped away, and savagery took over. Now all of the boys in Jacks group have become inhuman savages. Itââ¬â¢s all because of him.
