Disclaimer: I own nothing but a crazed imagination.

Word Count: 100 exactly

Featured Word: Stall - and a forced exam scenario (?). Oh, some days I wonder what's broken in my brain...and I hope this exam is forced enough. Didn't want them hurting each other...more than they already were. :-)

"Dean, quit stalling! You've got exactly five seconds to unlock this door or I'm coming through anyway!"

"I'm fine Sam, I don't need your help!"

"I'm not going to die Sam, Jesus, stop being so drama -" his weakened voice trails off, the thud of his body hitting the floor followed closely by the door wrenched from its hinges.

Ghostly pale, towel-covered, gentle fingers start at his scalp, quickly push-pull-poke-prod. Semi-conscious, struggling, full-body flinch against the pain. Between his posterior ribs. Then it's gone.
