Rain of Stones Reported
It was a reliably reported by several persons that a rain of stones fell from a clear blue sky on Carlin Street in the town of Chamberlain on August 17th. The stones fell principally on the home of Mrs. Margaret White, damaging the roof extensively and ruining two gutters and a downspout valued at approximately $25. Mrs. White, a widow, lives with her three-old-daughter, Carietta.
Fires on Carlin Street
Several residents of Carlin Street reported a few small fires that seemed to appeared out of nowhere burning on the streets and mostly near the home of Margaret White. A neighbor also states that when she heard a child scream coming from the White's home, the tree on her, Margaret's, lawn suddenly burst into flames. There was no reported injuries from this incident. Mrs. White still lives alone with a now nine-year-old daughter Carietta and an adoptive eight-year-old daughter Charlene.
The locker room was filled with shouts, echos and the subterranean sound of showers splashing on the tile. The girls had been playing volleyball in Period 1.
Girls stretched and writhed under the hot water, squalling, flicking water, squirting white bars of soap from hand to hand. Carrie White stood among them, the ugly duckling among the swans. Or at least that is what she felt like. She was a skinny girl with her neck, back, and buttocks covered in pimples. Her wet hair lacking as it rested against her face as she stood in the shower. Only a couple of feet away from Carrie was her adoptive sister Charlie. Her hair was blonde with dark roots, she had the deepest blue eyes and her body was something Carrie envy because Charlie's body was curvy. Compared to Charlie, Carrie looked the part of a sacrificial goat, the constant butt, believer in left-handed monkey wrenches, perpetual foul-up, and she was. Carrie wished that Ewen High School had private showers. They stare. They always stared. Sometimes they stared at Charlie because of her burn scars on her back.
Showers soon began to shut off one-by-one, girls stepping out with towels on their body, removing shower caps, drying themselves off, spraying deodorant, etc. They were chatting away like any typical teenage girl.
"-so Tommy said he hated it on me and I-"
"-I'm going with my sister and her husband. He picks his nose but so does, so they're very-"
"-shower after school and-"
"-too cheap to spend a goddamn penny so Cindi and I-"
Miss Desjardin, their slim, non breasted gym teacher, stepped in, craned her neck around briefly, and slapped her hands together once.
"What are you two waiting for? Doom? Bell in five minutes."
Charlie was still staring down at the drain as hot water pounded at her bright pink skin. Miss Desjardin signs deeply. She always assumed that Charlie could be either deaf in one ear, mental retarded or both because her lack of response and constant spacing out. After 2 minutes, Charlie looks up from the drain at her gym teacher.
"Oh sorry."
"Ohuh?" Carrie responded in a strange froggy sound. The girls laughed at that. Miss Desjardin made a gesture for both girls to step out. Carrie and Charlie turn off their shower heads.
It wasn't until they stepped out that their peers saw the blood running down Carrie and Charlie's leg.
The Shadow & Catalyst Exploded: Documented Facts and Specific Conclusions Derived from the Cases of Carietta White and Charlene McGee, by David Congress (Tulane University Press: 2015,) p.34:
It can hardly be disputed that failure to note specific instances of telekinesis during the White girl's earlier years must be attributed to the conclusion offered by White and Stearns in their paper Telekinesis: A Wild Talent Revisited-that the ability to move objects by effort of the will alone comes to the fore only in moments of extreme personal stress. The talent is well hidden indeed; how else could it have remained submerge for centuries with only the tip of the iceberg showing above a sea of quackery?
We have only skimpy hearsay evidence upon which to lay our foundation in this case, but even this is enough to indicate that a "TK" potential of immense magnitude existed in Carrie White. The great tragedy is that we are now Monday-morning quarterbacks...
Charlene McGee, Firestarter?, by Ryan Wanton (Houston University Press 2014,) p.4:
No one knew who exactly where Margaret White's adoptive daughter, Charlie White, came from or who her biological parents were. No one knew that she had pyrokinesis-or the ability to create or control fire strictly by thought. This unique gift is said by many scientist to be parallel to Carrie White's, Charlie's adoptive older sister, telekinesis.
And if pyrokinesis and telekinesis are supposedly parallel or similar to each other, then pyrokinesis can be trigger be extreme personal stress as well. Dr. Ethan McCoy from the Chemistry Department of Houston University explains pyrokinetic powers as being the ability to excite or speed up an object's atoms, increasing their thermal energy until they ignite, not necessarily objects, but also air particles. Also if Charlene White now known as her true name Charlie McGee is indeed had this ability and cause the Carlin Street fires in Chamberlain, Maine...the question remains:
'What happened that night?'
