There once was a girl named
Carrie who wanted to be
Thinner even though she was a
Bag of Bones. Her friend
Christine was worried about her because Carrie had
Insomnia and stayed at the gym called
The Green Mile until
Four Past Midnight or
Just After Sunset.
IT was the fault of that Home Shopping Network show,
Needful Things, selling those weight loss pills called
Firestarter from a weight loss program called The Regulators. . The pills had caused nothing but
Misery and
Desperation since she started taking them.
The Dark Half of the story was that nobody could help her, not even her neighbor
Dolores Claiborne.
The Shining light at the end of the tunnel was that she was taking
The Stand against her body dysmorphia and had no more
Rage or self loathing.
Lately she was working the
Night Shift at a bar called
The Dead Zone and it operated on a
Skeleton Crew most nights.
