A/N: So...this is my Flowers for Algernon AU I've been thinking about. It might not always be completely accurate, but hey, considering how hard it is to find enough characters for the different people I have to fill in the book, I think it'll wind up being pretty good. Here is a basic list of what I have for characters right now:

Charlie- Sherlock

Bert- John

Alice (Ms. Kinnian)- Molly

Nemur- Mycroft

Strauss- Lestrade

Algernon- Bluebell

Frank and Joe– Donovan

Gimpy- Jim

Mr. Donner- Anderson


progris report 1- may 2

I dont no what to say rite now but Mycroft says I hafta rite wat I think and feel from now on when I can. He says its part of the expermen he and Lestrade are doin. So I asked what to rite since I dint no. He sayd to say Im part of an experemen to make dum pepol smart and then to rite anythin else I thought. I ges Ill say I have a job at Barts Hospital and have my frends Donovan Jim and my bos Anderson and I go to ms. Hoopers nite clases evry week to try and get smart. Sinse thers nothing els I can think of I gues Ill stop now.

sincirly,

Sherlock Holmes


progris report 2 – may 3

Today I met a man namd John. He gave me a test to see if I coud be mor use in the expermen. He showd me som papers with ink on them and askd if I coud see any picturs in the ink. I sayd that I sawd spilld ink. He askd yes I know but anythin else but as hard as I stard I coud only see spilld ink. John saw I was gettn angry an sayed that I need magnation to see picturs and to try to think hard. I thot and thot and sayed I saw somone spil ink on wite cards. John sihed and put the cards away and left. I think I didnt do good.


third progris report

may 4- Lestrade and Mycroft said that ms. Hooper had recmended me for the expermen cause I wanted to lern so much. Mycroft asked me why I wanted to lern so much and I sayd my mum always wantd me to be smart and I wantd her to be happy with me and I wantd to be smart too but its so hard to be smart. Lestrade rote somthin that I think I sayd and Mycroft sayd that it might not werk lik they want and I might not be smart forevr. I sayd I dont care cause I just want to be smart. Lestrade sayd that they needed my famly to giv purmishun for the operashun. Mycroft sayd something to Lestrade and it lookd like they were fiteing about famlyal atachment but then they agreed on something and turnd bak to me. I hope I dont have to rite many progris reports cause it makes me tird and then Jim yells at me cause I do something rong. But hes still nice to me cause hes my frend. I bet hed be really surprized if I got smart.
