Guinea Pig

Melissa Scholes Young

5/5 ( ratings)

Like a modern day "Flowers for Algernon," Guinea Pig is a harrowing tale at the intersection of industrialized medicine and the human soul. "I should be doing something with my life, and this isn't it," says the protagonist Jeffrey Adams who, however jaded and aware, is nevertheless part of America's vast underclass of have nots, in the clutches of the ultimate haves. Guinea Pig is also a supreme act of empathy, ripped from the headlines, deeply felt and fully imagined. Well before receiving any of the credits featured in her bio, Melissa Scholes Young was running on all cylinders as a fiction writer. I should know: I was the lucky editor who first published this story. Read it and you'll know too.
