A/N: Another old challenge word picked at random.

Ok, so this is a bit of a downer. Sorry. I guess it's a tag to WTLB, although I didn't start it as one, it just started as some random angst. Oh well... please review!

Splintered

Dean wonders when it happened. He used to think it was the night his mother died, his childhood vanished in flames and soot.

Maybe when his father died. One soul traded for another, less worthy, to the monster haunting their family.

Then Sammy had died and he was alone, the solitary Winchester, left standing for God only knows what reason. But he'd done his job, bought Sammy back, and so it didn't happen then.

It was now, he realised as Sam slammed the hotel door, Dean sprawled amongst splinters of furniture. Now, this moment, was when he truly lost everything.
