2 x SPN100 Challenges: flame & fifty. Jack is lost in a blame game of his own devising. 150-word drabble. Spoilers for S14E01 Stranger in a Strange Land.
Fifty Shades of Flame
"A great flame follows a little spark" – 'The Divine Comedy, Paradiso: Canto I', Dante Alighieri
Lost in the maelstrom of his own thoughts, Jack hovered in the doorway, effectively excluding himself from the strategy session within.
What was the point if he couldn't help? It was all very well Cas saying his Grace would regenerate, but when would that be? Next week? When he was fifty? One hundred?
"Can you take this to Nick?" asked the guy on kitchen duty, interrupting Jack from the depths of his self-loathing.
Nodding, Jack took the tray of food, fighting down his resentment. He understood all too well the desire to be away from whispers and accusing stares, but his flesh still crawled at the sight of the man who was his father in body only. I mean, who says 'yes' to the devil?
He felt his eyes burn and a brief flicker of flame rippled across his fingertips.
Jack smiled. Maybe he'd be back sooner than he thought.
