Sam is driving, finally. Dean sleeps in the pre-dawn light, head leaning awkwardly against the passenger window, snoring low and slow. The warmth of his breath is clearing an irregular circle in the condensation on the glass.

Sam flexes cold fingers. There's the FBI who sees them as survivalist nutjobs; hunters that see betrayers of their own and the Demon that probably sees all, but for now, all Sam can see is Dean. They've got a full tank of gas and a trunkload of ammo, fresh credit cards and miles of road unfolding under the wheels.

For now, Sam drives.

Good summary of how they're probably getting by with such a line of troubles. Nice.

As long as I close my eyes and pretend they're not still driving the most recognisable car ever, I'm good. [grin] Thanks for the feedback!

Beautifully done.

I like that you give Sam a moment of not looking ahead or worrying what he's going to become, because there's just too much to worry about. So he's just *being*.

So he's just *being*.

Yes, exactly. I cannot begin to imagine the stress they're under at this point. I figure there must be some times when they've gone. "Okay, alive, that's a good start. Now lets focus on breathing for a while..." Thanks so much for the feeback.
