Challenge Word: Nap

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause—there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.

Far too soon, Dean began twitching, his body reacting to the horrors playing out in his mind. He would soon jolt awake and pretend nothing was wrong and Sam would play along, pretending he hadn't noticed. Because not pretending was more than either brother could face.
I'm going to call myself caught up now. There are two words left, but I can't think of a darn thing to do for them.
