Let me tell you a story of how it came to be...

Scene 1- the meadows where his house was

Sitting up on his bed he began to cough as the room was hot and the air was low but instinctively he reacted as he recognised the smell of smoke in the air and rolling on the bed and onto the floor as his mother showed him before, the room was filled with smoke and the visibility is low the room had become strange and unknown to him everything changed now completely becoming alien to him.

Blindly running through the mist, down the overgrown path, he was unaware of what lied ahead "can't you see? These trees were once people too!... just like you...lost in the woods... all alone and no one to turn to. Hungry, vulnerable, deprived they ate from the woods, from its cursed fruits and now entrapped, as the surrounding trees. BUT I DIGRESS, tonight is -indeed- our lucky night we get to eat fresh meat and it has been a while" said a demon from, within the woods.

The boy screamed weeping he walked towards the door and tried to turn the handle he realised that it had been bolted shut from the outside, the fire is slowly creeping up inch by inch consuming the house he grows up in all the memories burning away slowly pushing him Into a corner trapped with nowhere to go when the wall by the door collapsed leaving a hole just wide enough for him to get through and out onto the outside.

His house A burning Inferno raging behind him smoke reaching up to the sky kissing the moon a beautiful burning canvas filled with memories and joy, his home burning Down to the ground the fire dancing to the winds, the Meadow where filled with beautiful flowers what were dancing in breeze with the raging fire behind a beautiful sadness indeed.

Orchids and berry bushes: Heavens gemstones, glisten were shining brightly in the moonlight against the throned weeds.The boy plucked a humble handful berries as he made his way down, the overgrown path into the meadows: a hidden slice of Eden only him and his mother knew truly a snippet of Heaven a hidden secret in the lost

    During the twentieth century, author William Golding produced one of the most groundbreaking novels of the era, “Lord of the Flies,” confronting the psychological aftermath of World War Two. Published in 1954, in the midst of crisis among the nation, Golding sets “Lord of the Flies” in the backdrop of an atomic war, in which a group of young boys deserted on an island, due to a plane crash, fear an imaginative creature they call “the beast.” Symbolizing fear, war and savagery of human nature, the children dread they are unable to escape the hauntings of the beast, initially appearing only in their nightmares, but now, externalized into a never-ending terror, ineluctable by the boys, no matter their age. Primarily, only the youngest of residents on the island believe the actuality of the beast, while the more mature children simply believe the little ones are speaking of demons exclusively in their nightmares.…

    He saw a young Indian boy running through the woods with a shining cup, maybe silver. Then he saw a burning village, with men, women, and children of all sizes running out of burning huts. He saw fights, meetings, and then, that young boy, just a little older, carving the word, Croatoan into the tree, and then he was back. He could hear his family, and rustling of leaves, but all he could think about was what he just saw.

    All that was gone now, my heart clenched when I saw the wooden swing cracked and discolored trapped under the dead immense tree. The tree itself looked just very worned out, you could tell it had seen a lot through it’s life. The once rustic brown it held now a burnt black and gray, I couldn't help but to think that this had been the perfect symbol of the end of our “childhood”, the tree had seemed to had fallen months ago, and we just saw it. I felt sadden at the thought that we hadn’t been able to go back to it as much as we all used to, people moved away, and got very busy in trying to make it to adulthood. A hand on my shoulder brought me out of my deep thoughts, looking back to Fernie with tear filled eyes, I was shocked to see Fernie held the same expression.…
