Sam wasn't sure how to do this – burying Dean, that is.

He knew to change his clothes, clean the wounds but does he stitch them together? Set Dean's leg?

Sam bit his lip. It was okay if he messed up, right? After all, he had an excuse: Dean's dead.

Sam began to chew his lip and reached out to touch Dean's cheek.

It felt cold. It had been warm back at the Fremonts' house – in the room that smelled of hellhounds – sulfur, dirt and decaying flesh.

God, Dean was going to rot.

Sam's hand traveled up to Dean's hair. It was soft.

Closing Dean's eyes had been extremely difficult, near impossible, especially since Sam wanted to leave them open, because then Dean would have to blink at some time and that would mean he's alive, right?

Oh, wait, he can't – Dean's dead.

Stupid idiot. Sam started biting his nail. He's never done that before. But he's never had a dead brother either, so he guesses it's okay to try new things.

Yeah, because it's like test-driving having a dead brother, a dead Dean.

Well, it is a test drive, isn't it? Because Sam was going to get Dean back.

Right?

Posting this early because I'm leaving for Washington D.C. for the week.

Inspired by the throat virus that made it painful to swallow. It made me miserable as eating was not as enjoyable as usual.

I couldn't do this in a hundred and have it make sense at the same time, so now it's two hundreds. So here's double the insane ramblings of a man who just lost his brother!

Because, to me at least, Sam's thoughts had to be going everywhere.

Also, with this story, I have posted 1161 words worth of Supernatural fan fiction!

I mean, I didn't think I'd ever reach one thousand words. This is so big to me.

edit(27Feb2010): I'm backed from my trip and changed the typo "that would me he's alive" to "that would mean he's alive". There is also a change in the summary: "lost" to "loss." Also changed "It was cool" to "It felt cold" because the former is confusing. Thanks to my friend, Hripsime, for pointing it out! If you spot anything, feel free to tell me!
