Daniel Keyes. Flowers for Algernon (№ 356355)

For the first time in many weeks she invited me in. I stood at the closed door and slowly boil. I wanted to scream, to Bang on the door, kicking it, burning down the house. Well then, on the way home, I began little by little to calm down. And I felt freedom. With the feeling of freedom came a sadness. I wanted to love Alice, overcome emotional and sexual fears, to have children, the house. Now it is impossible. I'm as far away from Alice with an IQ of 185 as before with an IQ of 70. The only difference is that now we both understand that.
