Pelco: A Short Story

405 Words2 Pages

In the vast town of Pelco, there were a community of animals who all lived in peace and harmony, all bartered kindly and joked meekly. It was a happy environment indeed.

In Pelco, there were three much respected pigs, Paris, the youngest of them, Boston, the most naïve of them, and Foley, the eldest of them all.

The three pigs all lived in houses of great beauty. Many citizens looked up to these iconic homes.

Until Abu, the ferocious and blood-thirsty wolf scrambled into Pelco in search for absolute terror.

The pigs caught wind of the news. “Abu has breached the outskirts of town” said the reporter. The Pigs immediately called for a town meeting.

“He’s coming for us!” said Sid the sloth.
“What do we do?” said Gerry the giraffe. …show more content…

“Abu wants us to be scared, responding with hatred and anger will only allow us to act in the same ignorance that has made Abu what Abu is.” Said Paris the pig.

Within a second Abu crashed into the house growling and foaming at the mouth, at the sight of the panicking animals. His deathly nails protruding from his paws, he exclaims, “who’s first?!”

He stood face to face with the three pigs, his teeth shimmering in the light, stained with blood.

As the pigs stood with no fear whatsoever, the wolf stood, confused, “no fear?” questioned the wolf.

“No sir.” Exclaims Boston the pig.
“We have no fear of you Abu.” Said Paris the pig.

“Do you not fear my teeth or... or claws?” said Abu.
“No, no we do not, for we know you can change Abu, and you should for the better. Do not act out of hatred!” yelled Foley the pig.

“You’re right pigs.” Says Abu. Regretting his actions, Abu cries out, “please forgive me Pelco.”

The three pigs began to contemplate the situation and then spoke, “to ensure justice for all, we send you to the forest!” everyone in the room gasped.

And from that day on, Abu Avoided Pelco and the city thrived…

The boys thought “the beast was something you could hunt and kill” (143), which was an incorrect assumption. They were the beasts; they were the ones destroying their society. The pig was free, as well as the boys; in contrast, the pig became repulsive, as did their society.

    Golding uses the word pig in the beginning of the story to show a peaceful creature who shows the slow descent into savagery with the lack of civilization . In an article written by Hussein Tahiri, he writes about how at the loss of civilization, people can become more wild-like than normal, which can be seen throughout their actions. As Jack, Ralph, and Simon explore the forest, they see a pig stuck in the creepers. Jack raises a knife to kill it, but hesitates and the pig runs away. Ralph asks Jack why he did not kill the pig, to which Golding writes, “[he] knew very well why [Jack] hadn't; because of the enormity of the knife descending and cutting into living flesh; because of the unbearable blood” (Golding 31).
