A Supernatural Amphigory
Edward Gorey was a gothic writer who, in 1963, published The Gashlycrumb Tinies, a book detailing the gruesome deaths of 26 children - one for each letter of the alphabet. (You can read it [here].)
Saw this over at following_sea (they're doing a Hornblower one over there) and it looked far too fun to pass up - and of course, me being slightly obsessed with SPN, and it being Halloween... well. It started off with:
S is for Sam, who fell in a hole,
D is for Dean, in hell for his soul.
And it snowballed from there because it's disturbingly fun to do - and kinda hard to stop, lol.
So here it is: "A Supernatural Amphigory", by hovercarracer and mask_of_mafdet.
A Supernatural Amphigory
It's All Hallows Eve; gather close, listen well,
To this terrible tale of tragedy we tell.
These folks bought the farm, cashed in chips, bit the dust
Kicked the bucket, gave up ghosts, or simply went bust:
A is for Ava, neck snapped with a jolt,
A also for Andy (not enough salt).
Unfortunate Ash, the Roadhouse his pyre,
And don't forget Anna - Michael did fry 'er.
Another A: Adam, fell into a Pit,
And finally Alistair - Sam's the culprit.
B is for Bobby, neck busted in two,
Now back in business, though, hunting to do.
B also for Bela, found by the Hound,
Balthazar too, knifed to the ground.
C is for Campbells; violent deaths, the whole tribe,
And also for Cas, who souls did imbibe.
D is for Dean - where the hell do you start?
Crushed by a car, hit in the heart...
Decked by a desk and hacked with an axe,
Death via sausage, tacos, and snacks.
Move on: E for Ellen, along with her daughter,
Exploded in glory; Hell's now four Hounds shorter.
F is for Fergus (that's Crowley), who fell
Dead (so you thought), bones burnt to hell.
G is for Gordon, garrotted with wire,
G also for Gabe, whose tricks did backfire.
H is for Harry, wait - not dead! (More's the wonder)
I for Impala, crashed once, twice asunder.
J is for John. Dealt with demons. He's dead.
J also for Jessica, pulled from her bed.
Let's not forget Jim, pastor/hunter, throat slit.
Also poor Jimmy, Cas's human outfit.
K is for Kripke, Kripke'd on set,
L is for Lucifer: Sam'd, his end met.
M is for Mary and Mother of All -
One drank ashy vintage, one bled on a wall.
N is for Nancy, blown up in the station,
O is for Odin; bled out in Elysian.
P is for Pamela, stabbed by demons mid-search,
Q: Queen of Hell - Lillith - killed in a church.
R is for Ruby, ruined with the above;
And Rufus - brought low by a worm, for all love!
S is for Sam, knife severed his spine,
Then fell in a hole, an endless decline.
Like brother, like brother - Sam didn't stay dead.
Came back sans soul, then wrong in the head...
Next - T's for Tessa, assistant to Death,
(Not sure if she lived, though, or ever took breath.)
U is for Uriel - dick, funny or not,
Knifed dead by Anna when he lost the plot.
V stands for Victor, killed by Lillith as well
W for Witnesses, laid to rest by a spell.
X is for Xavier, Poker Victim Number One,
Y is for Yellow Eyes, shot by Colt's gun.
Z is for Zachariah, knifed jaw to brain,
He won't be playing his mind games again.
The body count's high, from A, B and C,
All the way through, to X, Y and Z.
So stock up on salt; lock your windows, my friend.
For no one is safe from supernatural end...
Notes
[+] Obviously this doesn't cover everyone (that would be faaaar too long), but hopefully we covered the main ones.
[+] Yes, some of the syllables don't match up and some of it's awkward. Sue me.
[+] Problem letters: H, I, Q, W, X, Y - not bad, but not great, either. (Any suggestions?)
[+] Thinking of doing a Merlin one... (Aulfric, Bedivere, Catrina...) =D
