...Woah. This was creepy as hell, and very unsettling. That last scene is disturbing but the imagery is wonderful.

Thanks! I'm glad it was creepy and yes, the last scene had to be kind of...unpleasant. I'm so glad it was unsettling and disturbing. XD

Ooooh, I liked this a lot. Very creepy and a nice twist on the usual de-aged or shrunk-small brother story. I especially liked:

Dean tries not to look at the shadow, tries to ignore the way it twists and seems to be pushing. He can’t find its head. He doesn’t know if it has one.

...and all the other stuff about the creepy shadows. VERY nice.

Your icon! *glee*

Glad you enjoyed this. Horror can be a lot of fun, especially when there are no monsters in it at all. XD Anything with children is almost guaranteed to be more than a little creepy, so I hardly had to do any work at all. Heh. (Also shadows. Shadows that show something we're not prepared for....)

Thanks for your kind words!

Holy shit that is creepy. o.o Fantastic writing as ever, everything with the shadows kind of SCARES THE BEGEEZUS OUT OF ME.

Mission accomplished! I love it when one of these things work out the way it's supposed to. Hee. Much love.

"I'm . . . IN here."
Sam shrinks out of his skin. Holy crap.

I'm not quite understanding the subtler plot points, like the shadow, and what it meant when Sam stopped twisting toward his old form, or why Dean decided to shoot him, but the dread, the eeriness, the dissonance between Sam's helplessness and Dean's horror - wow.

And I'm not getting the first image out of my head any time soon.

Mostly I was thinking in terms of the law of conservation--the old saw about 'can't make something out of nothing, or nothing out of something.' Sam may have been forcibly child-ified, and he has the bones and body mass and brain of a child but...something had to happen to the remainder. It had to go somewhere, and if it wasn't destroyed in the transformation, then it's probably still around ( ... )
