This is so very different from my usual style. Hopefully I did justice to the prompt!
CircumventThunder booms, murky black clouds spool across the sky, devour what dim light penetrates the atmosphere. Glance upward, sigh with the reprieve; it’s not the sulfuric haze that rains down acid from the skies

I'm not sure what it was about this, but it reminded me of a video game! I loved Dean being all nimble, and all butch with the leaping and grasping of the vine. And yay, happy ending!

Thank you!
I was trying to get into Dean's head as he acted out the plan he had made; random snippets filtering in between the steps he knew he had to take to get to safety. I wasn't thinking video game when I wrote it, but it's fitting now that I've re-read it! I may have to borrow that.

This reads almost like poetry. The style really lends to the desperation of Dean's running, and then at the end you can feel Dean's relief as he can finally stop. <3 Awesome.

I reads as poetry to me, too, even the "hybrid" prose parts. Very powerful and vivid. I think it's one of my favorite snippets of what it's like for Dean in Purgatory. Thanks for posting!

Purgatory seems like a place where everything is skewed a little, so I figured Cas's true form may leak outside of his vessel a bit more than it would elsewhere. Plus I really like the image of his big, shadowy wings!

I actually thought about writing a poem for this, but I ended up with an odd hybrid instead. I'm glad it worked for you!
