Author: OpheliacAngel

Characters: Dean, Sam

Genre: Family/Angst

Summary: EO Drabble Challenge: Water: The trouble Dean was in only continued to rise higher with every intake of breath, every second that dared to pass by. With not much to do but wait and dread the inevitable, he could only hope Sam wasn't in the exact same position he was in.
