Book Of Things That Should Never Get Published, Friends Plz Dont Read

Flowers for Algernon

So this is for school ;-;

   (Dr.Strauss POV)

I sighed as I set the flowers on Charlie's the grave.

This was my fault, a lotta people tell me it wasn't, tell me I couldn't have known, but I could've, and I should've. Should've waited, watched algernon longer, closer, but I got so excited I wasted a life.

And Charlie was a damn good kid too.

He was bright (as bright as he could be) he was kind and relatively realistic.

Though, this wasnt for nothing.

I've come to the conclusion that I'm not gonna try this anymore, at all. With anything. After watching Charlie, how it affected his life to go from dumb to smart, it sent everything reelling downhill.

He lost his job, his "Friends" not to mention his mental health went down too.... lost it all

Though that's not fair, just because he wanted to get smart shouldnt mean that should happen but still, there's probably a reson some people are like that. Theres gotta be, we don't know what will happen if we make people smart and while I don't know if it was Charie specific that they spiral, I don't want to risk it happening again

"Charlie I'm so sorry." I whispered, knowing no one could hear me. To be honest I think I might be losing it myself, makes me wonder how assassin's amd murders can exist.

"Gabriel?" Was asked from behind me.

"Yeah Susy?" I replied. She place a hand on my shoulder.

"Com'on, you shouldnt linger to long." She warned. I put my hand on hers.

"I know." I replied. I looked at Charlie's grave again, before walking back to the car with Susy.

How lovely it would be to be oblivious
