#253 - Awesome
Awesome, the most overused word in young Dean Winchester's vocabulary. It didn't matter what he was doing, everything was awesome, even when it wasn't. He might have learned it from a guy he saw on the black and white television in the tenth rundown motel room that he shared with his brother and father. The reception had been terrible and he had to sit three inches away from it to hear what was being said but as soon as he heard that word it was gold.
"Awesome this," and "Awesome that," it was a constant and dad had picked up on it, asking Dean where he had learned that one. Dean had just shrugged and said some guy had said it and that he liked it so he was using it.
It didn't matter if dad was gone or Sam was crying, everything was awesome whenever anybody asked Dean about life at home. "My dad's awesome," he would say. "My life's awesome." Nobody questioned awesome and nobody thought to look past the toothy grin and the way Dean said it so easily, like he didn't need to give any thought to his answer.
Awesome kept people away and kept questions at bay.
It was and would forever be a young Dean Winchester's favourite word.
