Note: Drabble Series - Another Life - Part 1/4


In another life, Azazel never bled into Sam's mouth.

Mary lived, John and Sam didn't butt heads (much), and maybe Dean would never sell his soul for Sam and Sam didn't really get his brother most of the time, but they were a family.

And they were happy.

John died eventually—heart attack—but his sons made something of themselves (one a budding lawyer, the other the best mechanic in the state) and Mary couldn't have been more proud. Two years later, Sam married a sweet girl named Jessica while Dean met his match in a spunky nurse he loved with a fiery passion no one else could match.

They died eventually (everyone does), but it wasn't in fire, or blood, or deals. It was peaceful, quiet, in warm homes with family and the completion of full lives.

Dean saw this world once and chose to leave it. (It wasn't real, but existence is relative anyways, and Dean could have chosen a dream purer than any reality.)

But he still lies awake at night and wonders why fate demanded they could never live a normal life.
