I have missed your quirky left-field ideas. You've been away for far too long, hun. 

This worked so perfectly. And to think you agonised over it for days!! I've always loved your ideas, and your imagination, and this was no exception. It was a joy to beta. And a special treat to get a sneak peek before everyone else - LOL. 

I think someone else has mentioned this, but I'm going to repeat - I love the confusion that Sam felt when his conscience told him the white rooms were his mind. Trust Sam to think the worst, that something that clean and pristine couldn't possibly be inside him. 

Until he saw his conscience's hands....

And the mysterious stranger is right - Sam will take on that guilt and keep pushing at the wall, trying to right the wrongs even at the risk of his own life, because isn't that what the Winchesters have always done? Isn't that why he took the dive into the cage in the first place?

Ah, Sammy, please stop scratching! 

Really loved all your visuals in this - the white walls, the one jarring note of black concrete representing the wall, Sam's conscience with his white clothes and white eyes, and blood-stained hands, Dean's voice pulling Sam back, Sam's initial determination to find Dean because the elder Winchester would be waiting for him. 

And on a more personal note, I am absolutely stoked that you decided to join in the fun of the challenge. I know how pushed for time you are these days, and that just made it all the more special. 

Awesome job!

Great tag Kris.  Loved the image of the white room and the man being Sam's mind and conscience, and the wall that Death put up being black. and as the 'man' chips away at it the black dust falls on the white.  Knowing Sam and his desire to make things right he's going to chip away at it, even subconsiously.  I'm hoping it's not inevitable that the wall eventually crumbles: just hope that Dean can keep Sam from doing that but it's a tall order.

Great writing Kris, great to read your work again.

Love the picture you paint of what's going on in Sam's head. How he can't believe it's his head, because it wouldn't be this white, until the old man, his conscience, points out that it's not as white as it seems. Sam always saw himself as damaged and evil and it's understandable that he would except his mind to be bloody and black. Loved that you showed that it's not really that way. It's so sad that he has to realize that he can't quit chipping the wall, because that's just part of who he is. The one thing I noticed and liked too, is that when he first followed the hallway he did so because he tries to find out where he is and he is certain Dean is waiting for him. That level of trust is awesome. In the end he follows his brother's voice back to reality and lets Dean take care of him. Sad that he still hears the echo of the chipping away at the wall. Very well done. Loved it for being surreal, yet because of it being very real. Hugs, Vonnie

Oh, yes...I really liked!  And it is so Sam, exactly what Dean is afraid of.  Sam always wants to do right, wants to right the wrongs he feels responsible for.  It is especially terrifying that a part of him wants to walk away from that wall, run to Dean and the safety of big brother.

But we know Sam, he is inquisitive and a part of him will keep chipping away at that wall.  It's in his nature.  I only hope either Dean can distract him from his need or else Sam can somehow overcome the guilt and terror from when that wall collapses.

You took me on a journey inside Sam's mind and it was both fascinating and terrifying.

Thanks, B.J.
