Yay!  Finally, Dean wears down enough to open up.  I like that you didn't tie it up in a nice, neat bow of happily ever after.  They squeaked by this hurdle just enough to make their relationship bearable.  More talking and work to come but at least they arrived at a truce.

Thanks for sharing this story!  I love the unusual creatures you find to jazz up your stories!  Brava! 

Author's Response: Thank you.  I am humbled by your kind words.

Ewww!  I had to cringe when Dean fell in the Gulon's purged material.  then when you mentioned the skunk... *gag*

But aside from me nearly losing my lunch I enjoyed this chapter.  It looks like Dean's hostility is wearing down somewhat.

I'm rushing off to see what happens next.

Wow!  Dean's really going batty!  Are these hallucinations due to his lack of sleep or are they something the Gulon is doing to him? 

How sad that his mind conjure up a young, needy Sam to comfort him.

Caffeine was giving him false energy much like liquor gave a cowardly man false courage.  Fabulous analogy!

"Would I be callin' if I didn't, ya chucklehead?"  Bobby is always fun to listen to.  The words that come out of his mouth are gems.

supernatural Siegfried and Roy act-- very witty!

I wondered if anyone would remember Sam's words to Dean at Roosevelt Asylum.  Since he's reiterating those same statements I can understand how they would hurt .

 

Author's Response: I do love Bobby and his interactions with the boys. Glad to hear you like him too.

what hurt the worst was that his little brother didn’t need him anymore, didn’t even want him around anymore. He’d easily found a replacement in Ruby. And it felt like every shred of humanity he’d tried to hold onto in Hell for Sam’s sake was for nothing. Dean was adrift. The hunter slammed a fist into tile.

After several long minutes, Dean turned the faucet all the way to the right, letting the shock of cold water push back exhaustion just a bit before reluctantly terminating the flow. Stepping from the tub, Dean steadied himself with a hand on the wall as a touch of lightheadedness made the room spin for a moment. Grunting in annoyance, he dried off and re-dressed, leaving the bathroom only when fully clothed, suddenly and unreasonably self-conscious of appearing partially undressed in front of Sam.

It didn’t matter, though, as the outer room was still devoid of gigantic little brothers when he stepped through the door enshrouded in a cloud of leftover steam. Dean shivered slightly at the abrupt temperature change.

Eyeing the bed, the older Winchester contemplated lying down and closing his eyes, sleeping until Sam returned with the coffee. He actually took two steps forward then froze.

What? Fall asleep and have him find you, huh? Wouldn’t that be sweet? Have him find you in the midst of another nightmare yet again? He’d see you whimpering, fidgeting, crying out. Maybe even begging…just like you did in Hell. Then what? You think he’d take pity on you? No. He’d look at you in disgust.

Dean veered off course and grabbed a brochure off the TV stand. He sank down in one of the rickety chairs near the window. He opened it and started reading.

Located 11 miles north of McCook in southwest Frontier County, Red Willow was completed in 1962. Some of the finest fishing and hunting in the state are found here, and the Commission has built some excellent facilities for camping and water-oriented recreation. At the top conservation pool, the lake covers 1,628 acres of the some 6,000 acres managed for public recreation and wildlife. Dedicated bass fishermen are well-acquainted with its brushy shores (35 miles of them), submerged trees, and underwater structures. Red Willow is a haven for both largemouth and smallmouth bass.

All visitors seem to enjoy the antics of the resident prairie dogs. Their town near Spring Creek is protected to insure they will continue to be around the area for the public to observe. Another special attraction at Red Willow is the longhorn cattle display, which recalls the days when huge herds of these rangy animals made the hard journey up the old Texas Trail.

For a brief moment, Dean heartily wished they were just two brothers out for some innocent recreation, wished they were actually here to watch the antics of the prairie dogs. With a disgusted grunt, he pushed the totally random, totally ridiculous, and ultimately stupid thoughts out of his mind and threw the brochure across the room.

...what hurt the worst was that his little brother didn't need him anymore, didn't even want him around anymore....And it felt like every shred of humanity that he'd tried to hold onto in Hell for Sam's sake was for nothing.  You expressed his pain and betrayal perfectly.  I'm sure when he was in Hell the only thing that kept him going was thoughts of his brother.

...suddenly and unreasonably self-consciously of appearing partially dressed in front of Sam.  Cool!  You've given us a physical manifestation of how vulnerable Dean is feeling.

Author's Response: Thanks so much, Shannon.  I'm glad you're enjoying it.

A great chapter, sorry to see it ending but at least it ended on a high note, and hopefully, they are able to work out their problems, Thanks...

Author's Response: Thanks, Maureen.

Thanks for the read, a great story,  i enjoyed it.

Author's Response: I'm so happy to hear you liked this one.  In many ways, it was a tough write so it's good to know people liked it.

Reviewer: Maureen Nesbitt (Signed) · Date: 13/08/09 06:45 PM · On: A Little Bit Like Steer Wrestling

Great chapter although too short, now I have to wait for the next one to see if Dean's OK, will there be any adverse effects from the Gulon's talons?  Post another chapter soon.

Author's Response: Thank you.  Happy to hear that you enjoyed this chapter.

A really nice chapter, really liked the imagery of Dean's thoughts being the same as that blasted metal pinball machine ball. And I liked little Sammy, even if he was a hallucination. But that was puzzling, too, bec I didn't think you could feel a hallucination, but Dean clearly felt Sammy's weight in his lap.

Bobby trying to cram some sense into Sam's head was appreciated. I keep thinking that Dean's going to find out about Ruby's phone calls at a very inopportune moment!

Brilliant chapter, poor Dean I feel so sad for him, he's having such a bad time of it and all those things Sam said going on a loop in his head, Are they ever going to be able to put it all behind them?  Can't wait to read the next chapter.

Reviewer: darkhunter (Signed) · Date: 24/06/09 04:12 PM · On: A Short Trip to Hell

Another brilliant chapter.

The boys seem to be so far apart at the moment, looking forward to more.

Author's Response: Thank you very much for the wonderful compliment.  I'm happy you enjoyed the update.

Just found this story and I love it.  Dean's hurting so much and shutting down.  I'm enjoying the way you've got into his head.
