The Sandman Cometh

The sun is just beginning to rise over the horizon, casting a reddish-orange glow across the sky. Several trees stand tall on either side of a newly paved road. These tall, whispering, observers sway back and forth ominously as a ghostly wind sweeps through the land taking red, orange, and yellow leaves and blowing them across the road creating a collage of color which looks almost like a make-shift wall. The wind is king here, as it pushes and pulls more and more leaves across the road. The wall of leaves expands. Now the wind is getting stronger and stronger; it's starting to pull leaves from the ground, even damp leaves which had fallen from above long ago are picked up and pulled back to life out of the pit they found themselves in. The wind begins to create its biggest leaf wall yet when a low rumble spreads throughout the land, echoing off the trees, and growing louder and louder. Suddenly a shiny black car bursts through the wall of leaves as it speeds along into the sunrise, a trail of leaves following closely behind.

"Wake up Sammy" Dean says as he shakes him a little.

Sam sits up and rubs his eyes, "Where are we?"

"Brazil, Indiana." Dean hands Sam a dreamcatcher. "And this is our next job"

"A dreamcatcher? Come on Dean, you gave me one of these when we were kids—"

"—And it worked, didn't it?" Dean interrupted.

Sam didn't reply.

"So, what are we doing? Trying to cure some kid of a nightmare or something? We're just going to walk in there a give the kid a dreamcatcher."

"If that works, then hell yeah." Dean snaps.

"What do you mean, if that works? What are we really dealing with here Dean?"

"We're here!"

Dean pulls into the driveway of a small two-story home surrounded by nothing but trees and cornfields. He pops the trunk and grabs the colt. He hides it in his inner jacket pocket.

"No, just leave the colt in the car Dean we can't afford for it to get stolen again. We've been through this."

"It'll be fine Sammy, we'll go inside--pop a demon—and then I'll have no problem putting the colt back in the trunk alright!"

"Pop a demon? So this isn't just about a kid having nightmares then! What are you getting us into here Dean?"

Dean knocks on the door.

"We're about to find out"
