Warnings: None. Happy Birthday Mainegirlwrites! Hope this floats your Sam-boat…Not exactly unconscious or fainting but all is not well with our boy Sammy.


He thinks he's alive; he can hear breathing.

In. Out.

He thinks he's awake though he's been blind for weeks. Days. Time has lost its meaning.

Soft velvet darkness blankets him, a smothering cocoon of silence and absence.

He tilts his head back, stares open-eyed at the ceiling. Or maybe the floor.

He no longer knows which way is up.

Or down.

Ssssssssssssssam-sammmy-sam…

Shut up! My brother's coming for me.

Your brother.

The voices whisper. Mocking. Malignant.

Your brother'ssssssss dead. Lost. Gone.

No.

Dean'll find me.

He hopes Sam is not dead. Lost. Gone.

But he can't be sure.
