Heart of Darkness

A season 11 Episode 5 drabble

Title: Heart of Darkness
Words: 100

Saving people, hunting things.

Dean wasn’t sure where or when that mantra had gotten lost, warped, distorted by static into not caring any more.

“We save people, Dean, remember?”

But he didn’t remember. When he tried, reaching back for the man he’d been, there was nothing there. The words slipped through his fingers like water, leaving a shining residue that was useless for quenching his thirst.

Sam’s face was all concern and worry, and Dean wanted to show Sam. He wanted to crack open his own chest, spread his ribs and expose the emptiness inside where the Darkness was hiding.

Wonderful drabble! I loved how you picked up on that line from Dean, and then expanded on it, to the Darkness and emptiness within him. *shivers*

Who knows whether that is what the Show is going for but that was were they left me! :D
Thanks x

Oh that's an intriguing take on the episode! I was surprised when Dean referred to "saving people, hunting things" as the new rules and this line makes me worry for him..

He wanted to crack open his own chest, spread his ribs and expose the emptiness inside where the Darkness was hiding.

..as it's possible the Darkness has affected him without Sam realising it.

It was reading other people's reaction posts and lovely codas that got me wondering about why I'd been feeling Dean was the empty one this time, rather than Sam... so many interesting ideas floating around!

Yes, I like the way the story line is so open at the moment and anything could happen!

I love your take on this, particularly how he reaches for the memory but there is nothing there. The Darkness is consuming him from the inside out.

I've no idea what is really going on, but it's an intriguing possibility!
