Dean stared at the endless, regimented rows of gravestones.
Such a waste...
"Don't think that, it doesn't honor their sacrifice."
Dean turned to see his father watching from a distance. "I'm sorry I didn't save you, Dad," he wept.
"Don't mourn me, son. I was dead long before that demon killed me. I died the same night as your mother... and since then I was little more than a vengeful spirit."
John gazed at Dean with a depth of emotion gained from his afterlife perspective. "The soldiers that survive need our prayers too," he whispered as he faded from view.
