Oscar, the green one, used to be looked down upon as the do-nothing lazy older brother that sponged off his more successful, more intelligent, morally upright and responsible younger brother... the blue one, a quiet-type, almost anti-social, usually had his nose stuffed in a book, nobody even remembers his real-name anymore... He is now known only as a monster, a fiend, a wild-eyed addict, disheveled and mussed, bent on getting his next fix. He hasn't picked up a book in years, never did turn in his completed doctoral thesis. Rarely does he talk to family. The monster, having been evicted from his condo, wanders up and down Sesame Street trading sexual favors for sweet snacks. His elder brother Oscar, having no where to go and no job skills, well, he decided to join the service. Oscar was sent overseas to fight, but tragically, he lost the use of his legs when the vehicle he was traveling in was blown-up by an IED. He now spends his days living in a trash can, a grouch, a grump, a bitter, broken shell of his former self, but humble and grateful for the handouts and scraps from the passersby... It's all that keeps him alive. Sometimes the monster stammers by in a trance-like state, and sometimes he'll look Oscar dead in the eyes, but is too far gone to recognize even his own older brother. The youngest brother, Elmo, knows nothing of the hardships faced by his older brothers. He is oblivious, and doesn't comprehend the depths to which they've fallen. He is too young to remember the days when Oscar and their cousin Grover used to throw the biggest parties on Sesame Street. The women were fast and easy back then. But the drinking and drugs took their toll on Oscar and Grover; it robbed Oscar of all his ambition, and it crossed the wires somehow in Grover's mind. Mentally, Grover is just not quite all there anymore. But Elmo doesn't remember the good times, he is too young, he only knows of the aftermath. He doesn't know of his blue brother's achievements in academia. But one day, Elmo will go to university. And Elmo will see the accolades and awards in the trophy case, and a photograph of the monster, before he became the monster. And then Elmo will finally know his brother's name.
