My name is Eric, and I am stranded on a deserted island. Some other boys, including my twin brother Sam, and I were being evacuated from England when our airplane crashed. We swam to this island and are trying to survive. There are no adults.

Post 4


By my count, we have been on this island for twenty days.  We are finally starting to adjust to our new life.  Today, Jack took us hunting.  We walked for a long time seeing nothing, but we came to a clearing where a pig was sitting.  We got in a circle and closed in on it.  Some boys tried to jump on it and it knocked Sam and me over. They hit the pig and slit its throat.  Sam and I carried it back to the camp.

When we arrived at the camp, Ralph was furious.  He said a boat had passed, but there was no smoke because we let the fire go out.  After a brief argument, Jack apologized.  We went back to the mountain and relit the fire and roasted the pig. It was the first time in over a week I had meat.
