Summary: The boys check out a barn.
A/N: Happy belated birthday, CatBeist! E/O Challenge, prompt word: "fade."
Disclaimer: I don't own these guys.


If Sam had known, he'd never have checked them in. They're here to lick their wounds, not to work.


"Sweet," says Dean, when Sam tells him. He's pale and run down. "Let's check it out."


The barn behind the motel is charred inside, but that doesn't mean the stories are true.


There are screams in the night. The boys sprint through wet grass in bare feet.


Inside, it's flame-bright. Sam's thrown against a wall. Dean's sneezing too hard to aim his gun.

"We're good listeners," Sam tries.


The motel shrinks in the rearview mirror. Dean fades, asleep before it vanishes.
