Summary: Sam's world has narrowed down.


The world seemed so big once upon a time. The road stretched out forever: coast to coast, border to border, job to job. Sam managed twice to scrape out a tiny space in all that vastness. Now, his universe has narrowed; vision telescoped. His third refuge is most likely his last and he's corralled by one unbearable certainty. Dean's getting worse.

There's no trail of bodies (yet) or rooms awash with gore (again). But Dean's being honest and it's scaring his brother to death. Family don't end in blood, Bobby had said. One way or another, Sam's afraid his will.
