AN: Thoughts welcome.
Whispers...
Low whispers at first.
One word barely audible then a few...
When they become loud enough to hear, it is then that they're too close.
When he jumps, there's peace... if only for a few hours and then it begins again.
He's along a river bed now and wonders if purgatory is like heaven. Is he in someone else's dream? A memory from one of the monster's?
But unlike heaven, each scene looks the same. It's always grey and always cold. He looks up to the bright skies and sighs. "I want to go home," he whispers but no one is listening. He's cursed to live a life of no death. At first, he thought it was because he was loved but now he knows this is not the case. This is his punishment. A life with no possibilities of death. He crouches down to replenish his thirst.
He suddenly hears the footsteps of two men. They're walking slowly at first but soon quicken their pace into a jog. Now they're coming towards him at speed. He straightens up, ready to jump again.
Then a familiar voice...
His heart stops...
Dean.
