Genre: gen, poem-ish
Characters: Winchesters, hunter-archetypes?
Rating: G
Challenge: DEW meta: the family business & you

Word Count: 100
Summary: Take this; save them sometimes; teach yourself to smile
Take this--
your box of hope, charms
bought with blood, with desperate
whiskey-drawn dreams
with next of kin's
last-shed tears;
take that, take this--
and go down
to the X with your
atrium atrium ventricle ventricle
four-chambered double-barreled
sawed-off and signed
against sorrow
in a box--
and bury it all.
That's what you do.
*
Find a cave
a haunt a host a home.
Flick dust from the spines
of books take
a lick at that rust
on the edge of a blade teach
yourself to stop, sleep, stop,
smile; hunt them sometimes.
Save them sometimes.
That’s what you do.
