Carrie

by Stephen King

She said: “They've hurt Carrie for the last time.”

It was a huge and awful grin, a Cheshire cat grin, floating dreamily in the fireshot darkness like a trace memory of lunacy.

??? What's going on?

“That's all right, Tommy. You did right. You go back there and start calling every doctor in the phone book. I'm going over to Summer Street.”

Jeez… the aftermath of the whole thing is atrocious. Poor town.

Quillan blinked slowly. “I dunno. It just sort of . . . came to me.”

Is this Tommy Quillan some sort of clairvoyant?

And so she left the church, left it to go home and find her momma and make destruction complete.

!!!

Q. How did you know? It would be logical to assume just what you first assumed, wouldn't it? A. I just knew.

REF- Ok, so, fact is everybody in town knew Carrie and always thought something awful of her - some kind of evil monster, if you will. Sad. This is just a mere representation of the damage we can create on people just by treating them in manner they don't deserve to be treated.

If the TK test shows positive, we have no treatment except a bullet in the head. And how is it possible to isolate a person who will eventually have the power to knock down all walls?

(see the dirty tricks see my whole life one long dirty trick)

The over-all impression is one of a town that is waiting to die. It is not enough, these days, to say that Chamberlain will never be the same. It may be closer to the truth to say that Chamberlain will simply never again be.
