The best writing, imho, leaves the reader guessing... filling in the blanks. The best writing engages the reader, makes them think. This is just... that good. The only reason, I suspect, that this isn't filled with comments, is because you have us thinking so hard ( ... )

Ahhh you flatter me. I love your interpretation, although I am not at liberty to confirm or deny it. *shifty eyes*

I don't see this as sad. Only inevitable. Like... civilizations that disappear. Do they die off? Do they just disappear? Are they ever the mystery in life? Where the boys go, it doesn't really matter. They're together. Precisely!

I have lurked read some of your work and thought it was terrific, so your comment means a lot. I hope you don't mind if I friend you?

Mind? I insist. I'm big on that when it comes to terribly, terribly clever people. And I'm terribly boring, so hopefully I've adequately lowered the bar here on standards!

And, apparently, I overuse the word ... terribly.

I loved this, the flow of your prose, being left to wonder, just a little. It's nice when not everything is wrapped up oh so neatly at the end.

And your choice of poem at the end was telling. Gorgeous work.

This is lovely, the feeling behind it, the sense of continuity and the way we'll never really know what happened.. I vote happy ending too :p

This in kinda broke my heart: Sam is alive, and the windows are rattling, and Dean just stands there in the millionth shitty motel room and listens to the roar of his own cocksure Winchester blood-the throb of the artery in his stomach, the tick tick tick boom of his stupid fragile heart that has never known when its time was up.
