Disclaimer: Sadly, I only own Dean Winchester and the character/plots/devices of Supernatural in my dreams. All aspects of this wonderful man belongs, in concept to Eric Kripke, and in style to the talented Jensen Ackles.

The idea of "re-memory" is the fabulous creation of Toni Morrison, and for those unfamiliar with her work, it references the 'vibe' left in a room after someone is gone, having flashes of a person, the past, years later. It's the idea that the past is almost a living entity, that leaves it's mark and can 'haunt' a person.

Summary: A lonely life, a lonely man, a perfect home.

Mmmm…

The jacket was a relic, well-worn, beaten.

Scuffs danced about the collar,

Creases etched in the sleeves.

Gun oil and leather permeated the pocket,

But everything screamed: "Dean."

Mmmm…

The car was a classic, boat-size, endearing.

Scratches carved along the doors,

Scorchmarks painted the back seat.

Shotguns and holy water filled every cranny,

But everything screamed: "Dean."

Mmmm…

The room was a hovel, unclean, expected.

Protection poured across the floor,

Research covered the ancient walls.

Duffle bags and hopes lied scattered about,

But everything screamed: "Dean."

Mmmm…

The job was a lifestyle, scary, emotional.

Memories floated among the living,

Revenge ensconced every tiny decision.

Broken dreams and prayers left waiting,

But everything screamed: "Dean."

Mmmm…

The man was a legend, sinful (unique?), lonely.

Scars mourned amidst his torso,

Destiny burdened his proud shoulders.

Freckles and Autumn eyes gazed cautiously, tenderly,

And everything whispered: "Home."
