Again I don't own anything, this is all Kripke's. This is one of my favorite Sam lines and somehow my brain worked it into a short story. Hope you like it!
Why couldn't it ever be as simple as losing a shoe? With Sam it was, "I lost my dad", or "My brother was devoured by hellhounds." It was losing blood and skin, getting yanked around countless times by demons and other various hellspawns. It was, "I was possessed by Lucifer himself and nearly beat the life out of my brother." "I came out of Hell missing just one thing, my soul. It was exorcisms and burials. Death and life. Angels and demons. Sometimes Sam Winchester honestly wished he could lose a shoe instead of a friend or mother and father.
