E/O CHALLENGE

WOW: Temper

Word Count: 100 on the nose, baby!


Sam was always the one accused of having a bad temper. Dean was the easy-going one. Quick with a smile, easily shrugging off or shouldering any comment or demand.

But Sam knew the truth. Sam knew you could only keep the kind of anger their life bred captive for so long.

When Sam was 14, he saw Dean kill something for the first time.

Sam saw how their father had to drag his brother off the corpse. How he had to slap Dean – three times! – before Dean's eyes re-focused.

It was the first time Sam was scared of his brother.


A/N: I'm running off now to see Ben Edlund on a Writer's Panel!
