I just got this idea for detached despair, like he doesn't even realise what is happening, just goes through the motions like it's not really him, just someone he's watching. So all thoughts of Sam and dad are only fleeting, pushed away before they can affect him. And then the cat breaks through his barrier, by just being there or by its own calm and soothing behaviour, I don't know. Maybe by cleaning itself it in a way cleaned him. Or maybe I'm philosophising a bit too much about my writing again. lol
Good that it was scary. I wanted to give it a kind of detached feeling, like he was watching himself from the outside, not quite in control of what he was doing. I hope it worked.
Kitties are the best. Don't remember ever writing any explicit cat scenes before, which I should do more of because they're such a delight. *pets own kitties*
OMG ...are you trying to break me sweetie ? ..poor Dean so broken ....and wondering if his death would reunite Dad and Sammy ....NO you silly boy NO ...Sammy would blame Dad more ..drive him further away not closer !!! Thank the goddess he didnt let the despiar take him over and found the beauty that can be found in life through the most ordinary things ...like the cat ...
This...this right here, is why I'm saving this series to my memories... I've thought about playing with this idea, but DAMN... No way I'm going to now - this...was perfection... OMG yes...
And please, please play with the idea. It would be so interesting to read your take on it.
I just got this image of Dean in my head, sitting in his car with the gun in his mouth and not really knowing why or feeling anything about it. Just contemplating if and why not and what it might accomplish. Not cold, just... detached. Even when he gets inside and realises he's sweating and trembling he still doesn't feel it. Like he's not a participant of his own life or his own mind. I think this is one of my favourite pieces I've ever written just because of this.

Yay for the life saving cat.
