A/N: 11/02/83 is the date of Mary Winchester's death.
Summary: SPN100 Challenge. Drabble word: strawberry. Dean doesn't do well alone. Some days are worse than others.
Word Count: 100 on the nose.
Dean doesn't need a calendar. His soul remembers. Always.
….blonde hair, a bright, warm smile...
He won't let go of the dream.
...slim fingers ruffle his hair...
Hey Jude, don't make it bad...
Dean rolls over, stares blankly at the ceiling.
Tomato-rice soup when he's sick...strawberry ice cream cone at the zoo...
He blinks.
Fuck.
Dad's two states away. Sam's at Stanford.
Another day in paradise.
Alone.
Dean sits up, swings his feet down to the floor. He wipes away that single tear, ignores the rising tension in his shoulders.
He'll have to find some fugly to kill.
Soon.
