A thick cloud of smoke
Pours from the plane as it falls
But where are we now?
–Ava Hayward
Hunting for some meat
On all fours following tracks
The spear just misses.
–Mason Poillucci
Look! There is a pig.
It has a lot of lush meat.
Meat for everyone!
–Abbas Khan
We are the real beast
That is what I tried to say
Yet I appear Insane.
–Israela Journette
Ouch! Where are my specs?
Jack hits Piggy with anger.
That was a cheap shot.
–Roy Nicholas
Dangerous creatures
Roaming the island. Who’s there?
Your enemy… me.
–Mairead Connolly
Group in disorder.
How will we leave the island?
Is there a beast here?
–Vinny Schwenck
A crushing circle
Simon stumbles into it
And pays with his life.
–Dylan Francione
Jack and Ralph square off
A boulder rips through the air
Piggy’s specs shattered.
–Alicia Karunarate
