Ghost of a Chance

by Swellison

Dean pursued the ghost, a mere slip of a girl, through the forest. Sam, still over-thinking their encounter with Max, was a hundred yards and two turnings of the trail behind them. Abruptly, the pallid spirit spun to face Dean, then vanished before he could raise his shotgun.

Dean cursed, momentarily forgetting that spirits can appear and disappear at will. He raced backwards, certain that the ghost, like all the other damn supernaturals, was drawn to Sammy and his unknown "powers."

"Down, Sammy!" Dean shouted, as the girl reached towards Sam.

Sam dropped, Dean's shotgun dispersing the ghost.

"Thanks, bro."
