Composed of excerpts and official documents, this final section charts the 10 years following Carrie’s destruction. Beginning with a copy of Carrie’s autopsy report that lists her cause of death as “[h]emorrhage, shock, coronary occlusion and/or coronary thrombosis” and names Sue as the person who identified Carrie’s remains (295), the section continues through news reports listing the finally tally of the dead—409 dead and 49 missing—and media coverage focusing on a town that has lost an entire generation of young people. Many people have moved away from Chamberlain rather than trying to rebuild, and there is a general sense that the town is “waiting to die” (300). Miss Desjardin, in a letter to the principal, resigns, reporting her heavy grief and shame at not intervening earlier: “If I had only reached out to that girl, if only, if only…” (301). A final excerpt from Sue’s autobiography depicts her dealing with the knowledge of the final moments of life, as witnessed through Carrie’s mind, which eclipses most else in her life. The final section is an excerpt from a letter sent between two sisters, in which a woman describes incidents of her young daughter displaying evidence of telekinetic ability and links it to similar powers their own grandmother had, concluding that her daughter will be “a world-beeter someday” (305).
