Status Updates From Carrie

Margaret White whispered: "Our Father, Who art in heaven-“
"Slower, Momma, Slower."
"hallowed be Thy name"
"I can see the blood draining back into you. Slower."
"-Thy kingdom come."
"Your feet and hands like marble, like alabaster. White."
"-Thy will be done
"My will, Momma. Slower."
"on earth"
"Slower."
"as...as...asit..."
She collapsed forward, hands twitching.
"as it is in heaven."
Carrie whispered: "Full stop."

She prayed and there was no answer. No one was there or if there was, He/It was cowering from her. God had turned His face away, and why not? This horror was as much His doing as hers. And so she left the church, left it to go home and find her momma and make destruction complete.

Q. How did you respond to her question?
A. Well, there's only one Carrie in town as far as I know, and that's Margaret White's daughter. I asked her if Carrie had something to do with the fires. Miss Snell told me Carrie had done it.
Those were her words. "Carrie did it. Carrie did it." She said it twice.
Q. Did she say anything else?
A. Yes, sir. She said: "They've hurt Carrie for the last time."
