No Safe Place


E/O Drabble Challenge: word count 100

Challenge word: Safe

Warnings: No spoilers but one use of the F word.

A bit of brotherly love, duty and the agonies of failure – just another day in the life of the Winchesters. Oh, and did I mention, swearing?


Physical pain was good. Pain was his only friend today, the only thing keeping him awake.

And he needed to stay awake. Badly.

He gripped the steering wheel, knuckles white as he floored the accelerator. The Impala roared, an anguished protesting counterpoint to the soft tearing breaths from the backseat, that sounded louder to him than the battering of the heavy rain on the old Chevy's roof.

How far away was that fucking hospital anyway?

His brother was bleeding out because he had failed to keep him safe – and that hurt far worse than a few cracked ribs.

A broken promise.
