Prompt word: ravenous

Never Mind

Dean watched as Sam picked at his food. After a hunt, the guy usually had a ravenous appetite. Today he was lost in thought.

"Dude. You planning on eating that chicken or are you waiting for it to re-grow feathers?"

Sam's head snapped up. There was a long pause before he spoke, brow scrunched in confusion.

"What?!" he said. "What does that even mean?"

"You know, dead chicken. Wait long enough and… it could come back… from the dead …"

Dean trailed off. Sam continued to stare in silence, thoroughly baffled.

"It means 'eat your food, Sam. We're leaving in five.'"
