Carrie by
Stephen King Carrie
was the odd one at school; the one whose reflexes were always off in games, whose
clothes never really fit, who never got the point of a joke. And so she became
the joke, the brunt of teenaged cruelties that puzzled her as much as they wounded
her.
There was hardly any comfort in playing her private game, because
like so many things in Carrie's life, it was sinful. Or so her mother said. Carrie
could make things move - by concentrating on them, by willing them to move. Small
things, like marbles, would start dancing. Or a candle would fall. A door would
lock. This was her game - her power - her sin, firmly repressed like everything
else about Carrie.
One act of kindness, as spontaneous as the vicious jokes
of her classmates, offered Carrie a new look at herself that night of the senior
prom. But another - of furious cruelty - forever changed things and turned her
clandestine game into a weapon of horror and destruction.
She made a lighted
candle fall, and she locked the doors...
