The Pepsi is flat, warm when he drinks it, and after he pushes the empty bottle under the passenger seat then lets his hand stroke around there a bit longer, feeling the treasures. Soft-cornered Batman comics, an empty tobacco tin with one corner dented in. An oily woolen hat that had been Dad’s, that Sammy had worn all winter. He pulls the hand-me-down jacket over his head and it makes his breathing louder, makes the light cooler.

You have the most amazing ability to describe details; so much so that I can see everything you describe. Also, your imagery...just wow.

I love this by the way. There's a bittersweet quality to what's going on. It's interesting to see Sam-Dean-John dynamic and for some reason I'm imagining this as a turning point/change in their relationship with one another. Plus I see symbolism, lots and lots of symbolism. Am I imagining that? 'Cause I swear I'm seeing themes and symbolism regarding Sammy growing up but still needing this family. ^^; Sorry in advance if I;m just reading to much into it. I was never good in English anyway.

Lovely job! You are my one of my favorite pre-series writers!
