Devastating place to end...though you left the tiniest smidgen of 'maybe' there...

Your readers would appreciate if you would put your stories behind a cut. That way we can click to open them but they don't take over the whole friends scroll. Thanks!

Ask and ye shall receive . . .as a spoiler, as I *cannot* get a cut to work.

How a cut works for me:

Enter everything, then highlight the body of the story (or the pictures, or whatever is big.)

Then click on the 'cut' icon in the toolbar--if you are using 'visual editor' mode it is the third icon to the right in the third division of the toolbar. To me it kind of looks like teeth...if you mouse over it, it says 'Insert cut.' In the pop-up box you will see the phrase 'read more...' but you can type whatever catchy thing you want in the box.

When you post, the reader clicks on the cut words to expand the post.

Hope that helps!

I think it worked, thanks. I still don't see the cut on my own page, which is why I'd abandoned it, but it does seem to be working on the Friends Feed.

Glad you liked it, and sorry the ending was confusing. If it helps - the clues are there, but Dean didn't see them, either.

Not sure there's an epilogue to this, but I was thinking maybe following up with John POV and then Sam POV.

ETA: Oh, and the hospital is calling Dean because - if John is ICE2 on Sam's phone, Dean is ICE1.

Thank you. Awesome/awful is about what I was going for.

OH man you left it there!!!!! great story and I enjoyed how Dean realized that Sam was up to something. Please tell me if you wrote more of this.... Thank you for sharing.

I'm glad you liked the story, and that Dean knew something was wrong.
I'm not sure how I would continue the story, but I am considering John and Sam POV.

cappy712 March 16 2013, 17:08:25 UTC

You could do the same story from John's POV and then again from Sam's

Or you could just continue with Dean and John rushing to the hospital to find out what happened to Sam. They could have an argument in the Impala on the way there too, like John yelling at Dean or something.

The fact is leaving it there is just as painful a Sam dying. So to know what happened would be good.

Thank you for asking (and for writing the story).
