A River Runs Through It
Chapter One - Long Black Road
It flows within.
The rage, the power, the lust…
Surging forth.
Dark and threatening.
Promising more blood and ruin.
Obsession unhinged.
Urges set free.
Fury…
Every kill ratchets up the cost.
Pushes me deeper.
Needing more.
After the slaughter,
Time stilled...
Air heavy with the weight of death.
Stifling…
Burying me in the horror of my actions.
A massacre…
Debauching who I thought I was.
What I thought I stood for.
Leading me down that long black road…
Trembling in turmoil.
Shattered by guilt.
Lost to darkness.
For a terrifying instant that thing.
Longing for the blade.
The beast unleashed.
The End

Jensen and Jared are killing me with the tension the Winchesters are experiencing, the frantic love and the desperate hope. The brothers' strength comes from each other, that support and belief in the other's goodness. I love what Sam said about Dean needing to find his own strength to fight the Mark. I love that Sam's belief in his brother might give Dean the faith to believe in himself. I hope this is a growth point for both brothers, bonding them together in that impenetrable union, fighting the good fight for each other and to save Dean.
Man, wasn't Electric Light Orchestra's Long Black Road one of the most perfect openings in The Road So Far? The beat, the lyrics…the impact staggering. So much awesome when it comes to Supernatural!
More to come…
