The horizon was blissful yet eloquent, how the light from the everlasting sun glared into the window of my single serving hospital room. The shine reminded me of the old days on the island, the days of adventure, extremeness, despair and terror. Those days were the best and worst in my life up to this very day on my death bed. That day I was rescued from that God forsaken island, was the day I left behind Ralph the British schoolboy and brought along a stranger I was weirdly bond to now. The attraction was intoxicating but also a paradox at the same time. This dark wanderer in the clouded corners of my mind was me.

 

I couldn’t quite get over what I experienced on the island. What happened to Piggy, Simon, and the boy with the mark on his face was never repeated again. But it was repeated over and over in my nightmares. When I walked down the crowded roads of England it seemed that what happened on the island was a distant mirage of some sought. No one will ever notice Simon’s profound thoughts or Piggy’s intellectual insight because of me. I was supposed to lead them and take care of them but I didn’t and I can’t forgive myself for it still 30 years later.

 

No matters how depress or dysfunctional I feel, it could never replace the life that Simon and Piggy could’ve had. But for some reason God, if there is one chose me to live. Why me? Why am I so special? These questions are the one’s I been asking for so long but I never received a response. I suppose heaven doesn’t deliver to me. For so many years I’ve walked around in this vulnerable state, looking for ways to forgive myself. But now I guess God or this higher power has figured out a solution.

 

I’m dying and the doctors don’t know what it is, but I do. It’s my punishment for letting the only sanity die on that island. And I except my fate for whatever sacrifice that I must make, I hope that it can restore the memory of those two boys…………

 

 
The truth about the events that took place on that island is revealed in the book “The Island” It seems that Ralph couldn’t bare the guilt he felt for the lives lost on that island. But Ralph’s death was caused by a powdery residue on a type of shell that was actually an obviously fatal, fungus only located on far out islands. The shell that stood for respect and honor was indeed the downfall of Ralph. And so we give our love hoping he will rest in peace finally
