A News Story - Lord of the Flies Style
A Shocking Discovery!
by I.McGuchan
A British naval officer made a shocking discovery yesterday when he discovered a group of English schoolboys gone savage on a remote Pacific island. While the entire story is unknown at this time, it is clear that the boys who ranged in age from approximately five to thirteen had been living on the island for some time and had resorted to violent acts. The boys appeared dishevelled and traumatized by their experience on the island, which seemed devoid of adult supervision. Further details are sure to emerge over the coming days regarding the exact nature of the events on the island.
While the boys were not allowed to speak to the reporters present, the officer who first discovered the boys did make this statement: "Terrible things seem to have taken place on this island. Our investigation over the next few days while reveal exactly what has transpired and who is to blame. What is clear at this point is that a group of English schoolboys had let themselves and their country down very badly." With those words, the officer marched off to makeshift shelters where the investigation was to begin. Stay tuned for further news from this potentially shocking story of an island paradise which was anything but.
