"Off Balance"

Sam was gone.

Sam was gone.

The words stuck in his head like a broken record, and they still didn’t make any sense.

Great to see you posting at the communities. :)

You already know I liked this story, but hey, I’ll give you some feedback again anyway. *g*

Nice job showing how empty Dean feels after Sam leaves, and the growing distance between John and Dean. You can really feel the hole that Sam left behind.

Favorite lines:

He was gonna get drunk, and if that pissed Dad off, well, too fucking bad, huh? Dean didn’t really give a rat’s ass.

Sammy was gone.

Oh, Dean.

He pressed a wet towel against his bleeding face and took refuge behind the closed door of the room he used to share with Sam. Now it was his room, and it was too big.

It was too quiet.

I really like this, using the empty room to show just how wrong things are without Sam around.

The silences were long and brittle, and too full of things left unsaid.

Lovely line.

On a purely instinctive level, who the hell would be stupid enough to ignore something so obvious?

Yeah, well. Present company excepted.

oh that was great!! incredibly poignant, but very true to Dean, and I love it! And I can totally see John pulling away, and Dean just left floundering, his primary role in life (big brother/family peacemaker) gone, and not knowing what to do, who to be, and John not making it any easier on him. Great stuff!
