Carrie On

it wasn’t the measured meanness nor the pig blood nor the rampage of Carrie’s revenge but the quiet walk to the graveyard depositing flowers remembering the saint...forgetting the maelstrom § § § § § as the grub-filled hand erupts through the soil to impale one more victim. the grave has no conscience. 10/31/2019

When I saw the title to this my first thought was...only Kim could come up with that. Creepy my friend, just like the movie. I really liked this.
