Challenge WOW: Gear

Walk a Little Straighter, Daddy

He didn't feel good. His face was hot, joints aching. He shivered, hugging his teddy bear.

"Dean, get it in gear."

"Dad-"

"C'mon!"

He got up shakily, cold.

"Dean, I'm hungry!" Sam ran in, curls bouncing.

"Okay, Sammy."

He cooked him eggs while John threw guns and his journal in his bag.

"Dad-"

"I'll be back soon," John said, tossing his Dean Sam's jacket. "You know the drill."

"Dad-"

"De-ean…"

"Alright, Sammy." He zipped his jacket and put his lunch in his backpack.

"Bye boys."

"Dad-"

The door shut; tears.

He smiled at Sam. "Let's get you to preschool, buddy."
