Algernon
Prologue
A boy was walking he up the hill was an inch over five feet tall, had tightly curling black hair and distinctive black eyebrows that met in the middle. The boy was a month from his fifteenth birthday and was not exactly handsome but pleasing to the eye. He walked to the brow of the hill then felt an uneasy twinge and looked at the construction site on the opposite side of the road "The Ancelstierrians would understand" said the boy quietly "I doubt they would" said a voice from beside him he looked sown and smiled at the person that had said it except that it was not a person it was a dog. The dog was wagging its tail. It was a waist high black and tan mongrel. The boy was still staring at the hill when a purple car came up just to his left a girl opened the door. The girl was half a year younger then the boy. She had straight brown hair and had prominent freckles. "Algernon!" called the girl. The boy jumped and looked round 'Want a lift?" asked the girl. Algernon looked at where the dog had once been, nodded and got into the car and they drove down the other side of the hill.
Algernon was lying down on the grass next to the dog with a bag of chips. "Do you think I should tell her?" asked Algernon "about us?" Asked the dog "no about your fleas!" "I resent that! But I suppose we should tell her. She could help us." "What do you mean help us?" "You know" "I'm late!" interrupted Algernon and with that he ran off and out of the park.
