LIFE IS SHORT SPOILER REVIEWS BY MADELINE FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON BY DANIEL KEYES Spoiler alert: Algernon is a mouse. The mouse dies.
ALIEN INVASION, PART 2 I’M UP TO the part where Charlie realizes that the mouse’s fate may be his own when I hear a loud rumbling noise outside. Immediately my mind goes to outer space. I picture a giant mother ship hovering in the skies above us. The house trembles and my books vibrate on the shelves. A steady beeping joins the rumbling and I know what it is. A truck. Probably just lost, I tell myself, to stave off disappointment. Probably just made a wrong turn on their way to someplace else. But then the engine cuts off. Doors open and close. A moment passes, and then another, and then a woman’s voice sings out, “Welcome to our new home, everybody!” Carla stares at me hard for a few seconds. I know what she’s thinking. It’s happening again.
