What do you say when you write your own bio, hummmmm, I guess you start at the beginning. My name is Crystal and I’m older than the impala!

I was born and bred in the beautiful state of Colorado and I returned home after a fifteen year absence. I can see Pike’s Peak when I look out my bedroom window, the mountains have always called me home.

I am a widow. My beloved John passed away from cancer caused by agent orange from his service in Viet Nam in July of 2004 that was truly the day the music died.

The craziest thing I ever did was marry John. How does that make me crazy you ask, well from first date to wedding date was a grand total of seven days, yes one week. We weren’t given a chance in hell of making it, but we beat the odds and had over twenty five years.

The greatest thing that came from our life together is our beautiful, smart, sarcastic, witty, crazy, twisted daughter Courtney, (love you baby) who has a story here under her penn name Makoto Kou.

I live with two cats in all their cat glory. Moze (who’s name was originally Smokey but the name mutated just like he did) is a 14 year old manx. He’s about the size of a small bear cub. My baby is Ghost a 4 year old gray terror.

I am addicted to Supernatural. Complete obsession. The horror genre has always called to me. I love the old horror movies, you know Bela as Dracula, Boris as Frankenstein and as the mummy. The atmosphere of those movies is incredible. It’s what your imagination does to make things scary. Not a real huge fan of slasher movies, but I’ve seen more than my share.

Music is pretty much the soundtrack of Supernatural. Those were my so called glory years if you will. Bad Co, CCR, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Seger. Also throw in a little classical, a little country, Garth Brooks, Vince Gill, Dwight Yoakum.

Some of my passions:

I love the poetry of Edgar Allan Poe, hauntingly beautiful works.

For some great reads check out the fairy tale series edited by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling, awesome fairy tales revisited by some of today’s greatest fantasy writers.

Check out the photography of Simon Marsden (just google him and I’m sure you’ll love what you see)

I love art. Too many artists to mention.

I quilt and do cross stitch and doll making when the creative urge hits.

My favorite holiday is Halloween. Who doesn’t love Halloween.

I am a Scorpio, late October, my favorite month of the year, autumn in her full glory, she’s breathtaking.

Drop me a line I won’t bite. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

For the first time, I wonder what'll happen if they don't find me. My mind starts to stumble over itself as I allow the possibility of dying alone in this place to register, and I suddenly feel like all of my insides are constricting, because this can't be happening, I can't be dying, I'm only nine years old, my family needs me...

I doubt anyone else has ever spent a New Year's Eve that was worse than this one.

Wonderful story, can't wait for the entire trilogy.  You captured our young Sammy with so much emotion.  Well done!!!

Crystal

 
Summary:

I wonder if I’m a monster; not the kind we hunt, but the kind that people read about or see in a movie and wonder how a person could be so wrong. I think that maybe I’m the kind of father that children grow up determined not to be, that daughters are frightened of and sons are shut down by and wives are ashamed of. I keep my eyes facing forward as I search intently for the black van I know carries my youngest son, and I wonder how my oldest can stand to know my blood runs in his veins.

I wonder how either of my boys can bear to love me....

I doubt anyone has ever had a New Year's Eve worse than this one.

BJ, Wow! A great addition to a wonderful episode. I loved your lines “Bobby knew the real reason Dean had survived it all was because he had to, he had to take care of his little brother; Sammy giving Dean his purpose, a reason to keep going, a job to do. His family his only refuge from the storm, and the boy had latched on tight, refusing to surrender to the darkness that threatened to claim them. Maybe together John's boys could give each other strength.” I loved you adding Bobby, he’s such a loving and grounding force for the boys. Could see Dean’s guilt and his “selfishness” for wanting to keep the pendant, and his desire to still keep Sam’s innocence. Bravo!!!

Crystal



Author's Response:

Thanks so much, Crystal.  I love Bobby and it just seemed to fit to see his reaction to all that happened.

I love how Dean acquired the pendant, but I couldn't help but feel "our" Dean would feel a certain amount of guilt... (knowing how selfless he is) and it was nice to examine that and have Bobby give him permission to keep the amulet.

I totally loved the Christmas episode, perfect in every way.  Thanks again, B.J.

 
Summary: Past Featured StoryJohn in Hell knew exactly what was happening in Cold Oak. In fact he had known what was happening to his boys the whole time since he made the deal. Now he had the front row seat to Sam’s death and Dean’s deal. And just how did he know?? The demons in Hell made sure he knew, that’s how… 

And how did he get out??

BRAVO!!!  Petra, the correlation to being in a theatre with the special presentation absolutely brilliant. From opening scene to end credits, I absolutely loved it. You more than exceeded my expectations.

John’s devastation at being forced to watch those he loves being destroyed, living the worst parts of their lives, the “audience” reactions as the scene played out, his front row seat, so amazing.

“For the umpteenth time in eternity, John collapsed inside himself, crying his pain, frustration and torment in silent tears. His mind tried to shut off, to disappear, to hit the mute button since the off button was non existent. But for the umpteenth time in eternity, the demonic plague hit the replay button and Hell became the box office hit with John the sole audience.”

My heart broke with John’s watching Dean, knowing family was Dean’s life.

“John wrapped his arms around himself in an unconscious gesture of supporting Dean. He knew that Sam’s indifference, indeed his cold disregard, would be tearing Dean apart, that this was the ultimate torture for his boy.”

Although rarely seen, we know John loved his sons, and believed he was doing the right thing by them, doing the best he could. Trying to keep them safe and protect them, even dying for them. Hell would indeed play upon these emotions, twisting, taunting, trying to destroy the man.

I can’t wait for the rest of the story. Welcome aboard to the ranks dear. Congrats on the feature selection as well.

Crystal



Author's Response:

Wow Crystal, what a wonderful review. I'm blown away!  I appreciate every single thing you said. Thanks heaps for showing me the parts that worked for you.

I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said about John - one die hard John fan spotting another a mile away!

Thanks for your support and encouragement, your little 'shoves' worked wonders!

Reviewer: clclemmons Signed starstarstarstarstar

Cookie,

WOW!! I don’t even know where to start. To be fighting every kind of evil for so many years and it comes down to what humanity does to itself. Faith in others is not a fault, but it comes back to bite you in the ass time after time.

To be forced to watch his youngest go through this alone, has to be heartbreaking. Of course John has to know Dean would never abandon his brother regardless of what his tormenters say.

Finding out Sam was the favored had to be overwhelming, knowing him to be specifically targeted by evil for their own purpose.

It is so painful to see the depths of John’s despair, not being able to protect your children is every parents worst nightmare. You have taken us to the very core of John’s soul, love of his sons, fear of what his failure has meant, anger at not being there to save them. This is so emotional and powerful.

Crystal 

 



Author's Response:

WOW yourself!! What an awesome reveiw, you have delved so deeply into the concept and your feelings about it, and I thank you for that.

Everything you said is in my mind as I am writing this story, the evil twist on the interpretation Hell is presenting to John is the point. So again, my thanks.

Your stars and your comments humble me, my friend.

Cookie,

Like I have said before, this is so powerful, so much raw emotion. Your descriptions are vivid, the images so easy to visualize. We know hell has totally underestimated the wrath of John Winchester. To learn their lives had been destroyed that they were no more than collateral damage for no other reason than because his son was favored to lead hell, something we could never picture Sam doing.

John still seeing Sam’s faith in good, and knowing that it could destroy his son, but still proud that after everything Sam had seen he could still have something to believe in.

The devastation of seeing Dean losing his brother, knowing Sam was Dean’s sole purpose in life, your description of it shaking hell and earth alike were stunning.

John’s anger was so powerful, one thing he knew was how to turn his hate into a weapon of his own. A means to destroy. God help anyone or anything that stands in his way.

Can’t wait for your next chapter.

Crystal



Author's Response:

This is an incredible review Crystal, and I am very grateful for the deep thought you put into it. Thank you for your lovely comments about both my writing and my plotline - I loved how you interrogated them against your own thoughts.

Your stars are beautiful, and knowing they're from you makes them special.

And God won't be helping those in John's way...
