Chapter 2: Fire on the Mountain
Maybe not such a good idea…

Dear Man Book,

This island here that we got stuck on, it’s amazing! There's fruit an’ pigs to eat, a bathing pool, and loads of wood. I recommended starting a signal fire with the wood and everyone became officious and full of ebullience. We started a signal fire with sticks and logs that we found on top of the mountain. We used Piggy’s glasses to light it. It kinda got outa control though. The embers flew of the top and started a fire below to. It set half the island on fire. We outa wait till it burns out, then we can see what happens. The worst thing about the fire though, is that, we lost some of the little uns’ and we can’t find them. One we know for sure got killed though is the kid with the birth mark on his face, Johnny. When Piggy realized it, a martyred expression made his face sink to the ground. Jack told him to shut up, but he was errant.
I'm pretty sure this is a good island, with all the water and the conch and everything, but there’s been some discussion about a beastie on the island. The little boy Johnny said he saw it when he was goin’ to sleep. He said it looked like a snake, but when the sun came out, it hid up in the trees with the creepers. It supposedly symbolizes evil. It unsettles me to think about it, but to me, I think the little un’ let his imagination run amuck. Thinking that there might be a monster snake out there makes it hard to go to sleep at night. It keeps running through my head that I could be eaten any sec. I'm not afraid! I'm just… afraid.
I'm different from all the other boys here though. I'm tougher and more responsible. They made me their leader, so the conch is mine practically. Plus my dad is a naval commander, so he’s going to rescue us as soon as he can. Once someone tells him that we’re lost he’ll come and get us. That’s how we’re going to be rescued; by my daddy. He’s going to see our signal fire smoke when he’s on his ship and come and get us. That’s what he’s supposed to do; it’s in the father’s rule book. He’ll rescue us… eventually… I think… I hope… he will… once he finds out where we are…
