When are they coming back?

I was the oldest boy in the camp. All the other boys went hunting, including Ralph and Simon. The litteuns have so much energy. With my asthma it was hard to keep running after them. There are too many of them just for me to look after. There seems to be always something that I need to help them with. Luckily some of them do play by themselves. They were throwing sand at each other though sometimes and I have to go tell them to stop. A group of the littuns played a trick on me and made me trip and land on my face. I did have some fun playing with some of them though. It kind of fun playing games like hide and seek again. I haven’t played those kinds of games for years. It was also kind of fun playing in the sand. I was wondering when the other boys would come back and I could sleep. They didn't come back for awhile and the littuns didn't go to sleep. They had too much energy. They would try to rest for about fifteen minutes and then they would be running around again while I was still tired. There like unlimited balls of energy that doesn't need recharging. When night set they went to sleep longer. The ones that did go to sleep had nightmares. I had to keep telling them that there is not a beastie. It is hard to comfort a 6 year old about nightmares. After about an hour after darkness, Simon arrives at the camp. We talk for awhile and he helps calm the littuns. He is a lot better at that.
