Footnote: To A Friend At College

Always worried when

and where more beer would be found---

had that distracted

you when your car went left of

center?  Fatal collision.

This is a glaring exclamation

This is a glaring exclamation at what drives us and our generations, the ungiven promise deep within the bottle (or any other addictive substance for that matter) and it ends where it does end- a fatal collision. Too sad and also too true. I read this with the memory of friend, loved ones, and colleagues that have gone that way. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you.  I agree.  And

Thank you.  I agree.  And this is why i think King's novel, Carrie, and the 1976 film version of it, is more than just a mere horror story:  it is also a great metaphor for the high school experience.  There is more terror among the bullied in our high schools than in all the horror fiction put together.
