... material shifting to reveal skin laced through with flares of black...

I actually had a moment of gut-wrenching, heart-stopping, "NO!". Oh, Dean. Oh, Sam. I was tearing up by the last line, and I had to sit here and sniffle dejectedly for a minute. You broke the boys!

There are so many beautiful lines in this, grim images and harsh situations, but still eloquently expressed. It's haunting. The last three paragraphs of the first section are excellent, but here are some more I liked:

"He looks really lonely. Late night pay-per-view lonely. If I was this thing, I'd eat him."

It was a crumpled mess of blue-white limbs. They'd contracted in death like a spider's.

"That's really nice," Dean said, and finished the rest of his burger

Dean ignored him in favour of fries, lots of fries. Sam looked away until he'd at least managed to contain them inside his mouth.

There were two boys in the back seat, no more than ten or twelve. They looked for all the world like they'd tumbled together and fallen asleep.

The child seemed to be made ( ... )

I really loved the opportunity to just tear everything down in this (you rarely get to do that conscience free in fic.) So I'm very glad that the whole thing worked for you, I'm going to take that as a huge compliment.

It's wonderful when people point out the parts they liked so thank you for that! And it's nice when they're parts that I really wanted to work.

I fixed the tiny formatting, thanks!

Oh, Jesus this plot is amazing. You wrote it perfectly though I'm sad we never found out exactly what was going on. I'm assuming it was the result of some experiment in the lab that was burned down...
