A Slow Death

***********

E/O Drabble Challenge: word count 100

Challenge word: Dust

 

Spoilers for Season 5 Swan Song: Tag for that episode.  Dean has an apology to make.

 

***********

Whoever said death was an ending lied.

We know better, Sam and I.

 

He died along with Lucifer and Michael and Adam, but there is no ending, ever, in Hell.

 

And my Hell is here, with me.  A single constant ache that I mask with a shit-eating grin that fools nobody who knows me.

 

So I stay away from my few surviving friends; who see right through me and act as mirrors for my pain.

 

I’m sorry Sammy.

 

I tried conventional.  I tried to eat that apple pie - but it tasted like dust.

 

Normal was your life, never mine.

I know, I know, another tag for Swan Song but, what can I say – it is haunting me…
