My Brother Mike
Marty resented his retarded brother Mike. Everyone revolved around Mike: whether he was okay, how he was doing, what he was feeling. People even thought there was a resemblance between Mike and Marty. Marty hated it. The rhetoric that his family always gave that Mike needed more attention because of his special needs was never enough to revoke his anger. And while Mike revered his older brother, Marty always wanted to retaliate with some act of revenge that he had to have a retarded brother.
One day Marty decided he had had enough. During a family reunion in the rich residential area in which they resided Marty would push Mike into the retention pond behind their home as if it were an accident. Mike couldn’t swim and his resultant death would cause a resonance that would end all of Marty’s problems. In retrospect it had never been a good plan.
When they pulled Mike from the pond they were able to revive him. Marty needed quick revision to his story that it was an accident when his cousin had the revelation that Marty did it. But Marty had no retort. His heart was like a revolving door with hatred and love constantly exchanging places. When Marty finally retrieved his composure he told the truth and wept . His retrospect thoughts told him that he loved Mike too.
Everyone gathered around Marty and hugged him like he had never been hugged. Somehow they all understood. It wasn’t that they didn’t love Marty, but that they didn’t think Marty needed attention as much as Mike did. Everyone apologized and Marty’s life was different from that day on. He never hated his retarded brother Mike again.
