The Starving Art

Chapter One

"Sam, you doing your college essays?" Dean asked when he walked into his younger brother's bedroom. Sam was sitting at the computer his dad had gotten him for his birthday (this is noted in John's journal), trying to start on his college essays, but so far, failing miserably.

"Ya know, Dean, it would be a lot easier to concentrate on my essays if you would stop asking me every five minutes," Sam retorted. Dean rolled his eyes, collapsing on the seventeen year olds bed.

"When will you ever finish?" Dean asked.

"I'm inviting Ruby over tomorrow and we're gonna try to finish up together," Sam explained.

"I don't like her."

"I know you don't."


"You know, Sam, you look a little pudgy to me," Ruby – Sam's girlfriend of three weeks – said.

"Pudgy?" Sam asked. AS a marine, their father had prided himself and his children on physical fitness. They even trained in combat in their free time.

"Yeah, just a little. You'd probably only have to lose five pounds to get back to normal," Ruby said.

"I'll talk to my dad about increasing training," Sam responded.

"I can help you," Ruby said. "I know all sorts of tricks to lose weight." Sam couldn't deny that. Ruby was constantly on diets, looking as thin as ever.

"Okay."

I'm so sorry it's short; they'll get longer, I swear.
