WHERE around and about
WHEN afternoon
WHAT she wants food
WARNINGS tbd
Carrie had died.
That was the thought that kept racing through her mind as she walked slowly down the sidewalk. Carrie had died and done something to Sue. Her flats barely made a sound as she just kind of wandered. Sue hadn't realized that whatever Carrie had done to her mind had left marks behind, not until they had both been in the same apartment shortly after her arrival. It had felt like something had snapped into place and then things just started floating.
Sue hadn't said a word about it since. She just couldn't believe that she somehow had powers like Carrie, like the girl she had helped bully. Okay, yes, she had stopped. She had tried to make things right, honest, but it had all gone so wrong. Her guilt still ate at her and seeing Carrie alive and happy? That made her feel more guilty.
If she had stopped it all sooner, if she hadn't started teasing, if she had just tried to help Carrie adjust to school... The what-ifs were strong and plenty as she grappled with everything that happened. Her footsteps finally stopped in front of a diner as she looked at the menu in the window. God, she was hungry. She rested a hand on her lower belly as she read the menu.
Sue would kill for some potato skins and a peanut butter banana milkshake.
Suddenly someone slammed into her side and she barely had time to register her purse was gone. "Hey!" She screamed as the person took off running. Sue took off after him and knew she wasn't going to catch up. Anger filled her and the next thing she knew the thief was floating slightly off the ground. She panicked, the thief slammed hard into the pavement, and Sue raced over to grab her purse.
"You shouldn't steal," she felt bad since she could see the broken nose and hear the groans of pain. God, she was turning into a monster or something. She hadn't even wanted to use whatever was inside of her, but it just happened. She walked quickly back towards the diner and hoped no one saw.
She wanted like two orders of potato skins now and a handbook to whatever was happening to her.
