That last one is positivley a black hole.
So much punch in so few words. Well done but so, so heartbreaking.

Favorite lines:
Their duffels and pillows and blankets and a box of Sammy’s toys are piled neatly alongside them.
Such a sad little image, the boys with all their stuff out on the curb.
When he says “we” he means himself and Dad and Sam, because Sam will come back one day. He has to.
Oh, Dean.
He holds back only one thing. He says nothing about Mom.
I really like that he doesn’t share this aspect of his life. It feels right that he’d keep it private from Cassie.
and he’s peed himself again, he thinks. But maybe it’s just blood.
Graphic and very effective details. There’s no hope for him at this point, and he knows it.
G’bye, Sammy, he thinks.
And lets go.

I never thought I could do drabbles - thought they were too short for my usual style. But it's like building a puzzle, putting everything you want to say into exactly 100 words. Glad you liked them!

*nods* They're really cool to write in terms of seeing how much you can convey in such a short space.

I started to think, if there's an adult around, the landlord's got to give you 30 days or 90 days or whatever it is. But with these little kids, and John being gone - I set the landlord up to bully Dean into getting OUT. And what's Dean gonna do? Shoot him with the salt gun? Poor baby.
We need to cheer Sharon up. She's taken to wearing too much black.

You likey? I was totally possessed Friday night. I was on a rampage. I think I made 25 or something. I looked at the clock, and it was 2:30am! I only kept a couple old ones, and they're on life support. Don't worry about the pics. I'm sooo over them. Well, maybe not the eyelashes of love, but only if you're bored. Maybe I'll find the love again, after you make them all shiny and new.
Damnit! I was at Walmart yesterday, and forgot to price Paint Shop. I'll just go ahead and get it from Amazon. I think I need the newer one cos' of Vista, but it wasn't that much of a price difference anyway.
Sharon looks awesome in black!
