flowers for algernon

Indigo loved his brother but never expected to work so well with him. They bounced ideas off one another and kept each other engaged. They encouraged one another even when there was so much about them that was different. They complimented each other in their differences instead of opposing. After a little bit of work and quick thinking Azure was commiting to attaching the giant flower to the giant puppy.

He did as he was told, and before long Azure had secured the sunflower to Indigo’s back. He felt proud of himself in those few moments before his brother spoke again. Doubt seeped in but he tried to hide it. ”Under my chin,” he answered first. ”Well, it’s one really big flower.” He tried to explain. ”It counts for a lot of flowers right?” Now he wasn’t nearly as sure of his plan.
