SPN100 Drabble Challenge: word count 100
Challenge word: mad
Warnings: None
Summary: Castiel is carrying more than souls inside him, there are darker things contributing to his God delusion.
Red mist descends. Everything is red – crimson, carmine, alizarin – blood. Who'd have thought madness would look as beautiful as this; like a hundred glowing sunsets across the sedimentary layers of the Grand Canyon.
Ironic, really, when its origins lie in the molten tar-blackness of the thousands of leviathans that squirm inside him.
Red clears to crystal blue. Finally Castiel can see the destruction he's wrought – dark shadowed wings burnt into grass no longer fresh and green.
He waits for the horror that never comes; then after a moment, he smiles.
God looks on his creation and it is good.
