COGITATIONS
112: Faith

by Sade Lyrate

So, this is it.

No fanfares, no heroics, no skies rent apart. Not on a battlefield, in a lover's embrace, crushed with the car...

Dean Winchester was going to die on a hospital bed, in the middle of humming machines, of an electrocuted heart.

A stupid, freaky accident. Easily avoidable, if only...

He wanted to be angry. Hell, he should be angry. But...

Pointless. Waste of energy.

His mistake, his fault. No one to blame but himself.

He never thought he'd be happy to see Sam leave.

Not going there now. Mulled over it long enough, long ago.

Heavy, his eyes closed.

It was over, all of it. Not like this gig came with long life expectancy anyway, but...

No way to fight against something like this.
No guns could heal a heart, no knives fix the damage, no amount of holy water wash the fried system clean, no amount of rock salt repel death.

He had played the cards dealt and, for once, someone else had had a better poker face.
