The Crash

Hullo! I was just flying on a plane, and suddenly we was attacked! And the whole thing rocked and started to dive! I thought I was gonna get an asthma attack. We ended up crash-landing on some island. What a stroke of luck! Today has been a very lucky unlucky day. Once I dropped down, I looked for anyone else. I saw many kids on the plane that crashed. I was very worried and it was hard to move in the humidity. Would we ever get off? I was wondering. 'Surely some of the kids survived?' I thought to myself. As if on command, I heard a rustling of some sorts behind the creepers. I called out to it, and a guy showed himself. He said his name was Ralph. I told him the name that people used to call me at school, just to get a little laugh out of him, but I overcompensated and he ended up in hysterics and pretending to machine gun me. But he promised to keep it a secret so I was not worried. We talked a bit and I think we became friends! We went exploring and found a conch shell inside the sand. Just like my friend Steven had hanging up on his wall back at home. It was ever so beautiful, and I remember how he used to blow it, and I longed to blow it but my asthma wouldn't let me, so I showed Ralph how to blow it. It made such a loud noise, it seemed like every tree on the island fluttered with the note. One boy, I think it was Johnny, came running through the foliage. Soon, with a few more blows, everyone on the island (I think) came. Although it seems a bit out of place, I was very happy that my idea of blowing the conch could lead to this! I was just about to see Ralph as a very nice boy until he told everyone my secret that I had only told him. The boys made the largest uproar about it. I was kinda used to it from my old school, but still I wasn't happy that Ralph told everyone what I meant to keep secret. Ralph was elected chief anyway, because I helped him find the conch! I saw no point in holding a grudge in such a dire situation however, and Ralph, Jack and a boy named Simon left on an expedition as quick as we got here. I was tasked with the near-impossible job of getting the littluns' names. I gave it my best shot, but the first two kids, Eric and Sam, were perfectly identical and I almost got a headache as they ran around me. I decided to cool off in the lagoon waters in the place where I was first.

As I walked to the spot where we found the conch, I decided to dig around a bit. Who knows, maybe another conch would show up! But something unexpected and even more interesting turned up. This computer! I opened it, and now I am writing this in hopes to maybe get it published one day, when I make it off this island. At first, I was overjoyed. I would be able to contact society! But I quickly realized that there was no signal to be received or sent on this island. Still, I could write this recording of events on the island. The previous recounting is from my memory; now I can record as the time progresses. After discovering this computer I walk back to the kids, who apparently have infinite energy, and who are still running around crazed, eating fruit. Before I can continue and record names, Jack, Ralph and Simon come back from their adventures, and kids flock to them as if in reverence. I am about to tell everyone about my findings, but I don't want to interrupt the description of the island and possibly be ridiculed again. Besides, I want to keep this as a bit of a secret.
