Lord Of The Flies Monologue

Crows, always the crows. They settled on the roof of the church even before the injured were dead. Even before Vince had finished taking fingers from hands. I leaned back against a house, looking at the crows, dozens of them watching and waiting for their feast. The whole town ran red, blood on the cobblestones, in the well and on the walls.

How could he be? When being so close to death. "Do you have any daughters, I know you do, they will find them and if they don’t, you'll hear them scream while you all burn." He looked at me blankly and I realized he had gone past hearing but he was still
