The Death of Simon

Simon was always one to help out, proven by him being one of the few to work on the huts while the majority of the children were out playing on the beach. He was also one of Jack's followers. When they went on one of their hunting trips Simon was there. They found a  sow which was lying down with her piglets and they decide to kill it (which was very wreckless). They launched their spears and landed plenty of hits on it. They began chasing it until they found it in a clearing, to weak to run. They began stabbing it more times until Jack cut it's throats and it died. They decapitated the pig and left its head on a pike wedged into a rock. Simon falls behind because he hears voices. He begins talking to the lord of the flies which had taken refuge in the pig's head. His head begins to throb and his nose begins to bleed then he goes unconscious. When he awakes he climbs the mountain. He examines the "beast" and sees it is only a dead pilot so he ventures down the mountain to the party to tell the others. The parachute carries the pilot away, never to be seen again. Once he arrives at the party they are doing their ritual. Simon gets caught in the middle. They continue chanting "Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!". They begin stabbing him. They are like savages and push him further down the beach. Once killed, his body floats out to sea never to be found.
