I also meant to say that I loved this:
""You could've just yelled," Sam muttered to his sleeping brother." No he couldn't, because he's Dean. :) And I loved this: "They were partners, and that meant that they should've been pretty evenly chomped on by supernaturals." LOL Love that Sam's complaining about not getting his fair share of chomping. And: "Sam reckoned that Dean got chomped or stomped about 75 per cent of the time, his big brother protectiveness only paying lip-service to the equal partners idea." Awww...that's so like Dean.
Author's Response: Hi Beth, Wow, a repeat offender, er reviewer. Thanks for the additional input on the story. And hey, you commented on Dean's characterizaton in the story, even tho he's asleep through the whole snippet. That's got to be the sign of a dedicated Deangirl, right? (vbg) Sue

Really interesting way to look at what's going on in Sam's subconscious through the words he chooses. I wondered if he'd realize that most of his words (the easily found ones, at least) were about hunting. Now I have to go see if that game really exists. LOL Nicely done!
Author's Response: Hi Beth, Thanks for the review! Yes, Bookworm is a real game, I've got it on my desktop and indulge in a quick few minutes of playing it to refresh my word skills;-) Sue

Good story! How sad for Sam to realize his life was consumed by the awareness of evil.
Author's Response: Got it in one, Shannondoah. Glad you liked the story.

Author's Response: Thanks, bambers. Glad you liked it.

Very cute by sad story, all Sam was trying to do was just play a game, and yet even that has been taken over by hunting :(
Author's Response: Exactly the point of the story. Gald you liked it.

Uh oh... Sammy's turning into Papa Winchester... : )
Author's Response: Well, Dean eagerly followed in his father's footsteps and became a hunter, but Sam is a closer match, personality-wise to John, IMO.

oops, forgot something (show me the stars)
Author's Response: Oh, wow, thanks for the stars, Strig. Now I've got to take all this positive feedback and focus it on some serious writing (whispers) I've got a deadline looming. Thanks again for all the reviews!

Is that a real game? Sounds like fun. Very nice story, the words Sam sees subtly obvious. Enjoyed the read, thanks.
Author's Response: Yes, Bookworm is a real game, you can find it on yahoo's word game page. I simplified the fire tiles a little, and left out the scoring. Glad you liked the story. When I play Bookworm, I'm always on the lookout for supernatural words and I mentally give myself a bonus score for any Winchester words I find;-)

hehe I play Bookworm quite often. Nice little story!
Author's Response: Thanks, Vanessa. I got hooked on Bookworm early this year, so I transferred my addiction to Sam;-) and voila! a story is born.

Aw I really enjoyed your little drabble. Sammy watching over a hurt Dean is just adorably sweet and fluffy. Interesting game that Sam is playing. I liked that he was able to find normal and happy in amongst the dark and evil. Great job!
Author's Response: Thanks. You know, you've put an alternate spin on this - that in the midst of all the dark and evil, Sam still managed to find normal and happy. Interesting. I wrote with the idea that it's easier for Sam to find the twisted, convoluted supernatural words than the straightforward ordinary life words like happy and normal.

Great idea. Loved the way 'normal' had been overlooked for so long and the way he avoided 'dead' and chose 'dad' instead. What a realisation for Sam at the end, quite sad really! But a very enjoyable fic - Thanks.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I like to toss in a U-turn in my writing (like Sam realizing how much hunting has taken over his life), it keeps the readers on their toes.

what a wonderful little ficlet, nothing like I read, very creative and original. Loved your intro and Sam's ponderings, right on the money as far as Dean always putting himself in the line of fire. Your line "you could've just yelled" - too funny yet I could fetect Sam's seriousness in there. The game as a connection to Jess was sad, but loved how you had Sam ignore the the glitzy games for the mind challenging ones. Sooo Sam. i did notice all the supernatural words popping out of sammy's tiles. Your ending was perfect - Sam back to pondering about his Dad and seeing evil everywhere - he is afterall, a hunter. Well written, thanks for the little read with the big idea.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for this review - creative and original, I'm thrilled. What with the incredible amount of SPN fic out there, it's getting harder and harder to come up with something different, so glad you appreciated my efforts.
