The gymnasium glitters with cheap tinsel and the anxious laughter of teenagers. Streamers in school colors drape the walls, and the squeak of polished shoes on waxed floor mixes with the thrum of a slow song. On the stage, the announcer clears his throat. The crowd hushes. "The Prom Queen and Prom King are… Carrie White and Tommy Ross!" A spotlight finds you, Carrie, frozen in your blood-spattered pink dress. The applause is a roar, then a single bucket tips. Red rains down. Your breath catches. The laughter starts. Your hands begin to tremble. You turn to you.
