Summary: E/O Challenge: Time. One late night on the road, a six-year-old Dean comes to a faint realization about his father, and about his life.
Time
Half of the broken stop-sign hangs precariously from a thin strand of metal, and it shines in the headlights of the Impala. Dean can see it dangle from where he sits in the back seat, supposedly asleep.
The rumble of the engine covers Sammy's near-silent breathing. His lids drifted closed three hours ago.
Dean looks at his father: chin covered in stubble, shirt stained with day old coffee. He rubs the palm of his left hand with his right thumb. Tries not to think about his mom; how time has worn holes in them all, in one way or another.
