| Jo Beth was getting stupid. Really stupid. She kept forgetting the simplest things, and couldn't think at all when even slightly tired. One day, she found herself standing at the whiteboard unable to continue the Math lesson because she'd forgotten how to subtract. Also, her spatial awareness was entirely gone. The little girl who had once understood her engineer father's blueprints had become the woman who now had trouble figuring out not only how to open the new marker box, but which end to open. For the first time ever, she now had trouble reading maps. All of Jo Beth's mental processes had become sluggish. She took an IQ test. Her IQ had dropped 30 points, just like the "after" rats in "Flowers for Algernon." She knew just how Charlie felt. |
