Enjoy!

The shrapnel from the explosion traveled with bullet-like speed straight into Dean's chest. Fortunately, his dad's leather jacket took the brunt of it, saving his life. Unfortunately, his lungs didn't know the difference.

"You hit?"

He furiously shook his head, swallowing the panic that had seized him. He flashed wide eyes at Sam, hoping that the brother to brother telepathy line was open for business.

"Wind knocked out of you?"

He nodded, trying to relax, willing the oxygen back inside him. Any second now.
