Nicely done. I really like the last line, because it's so true. And I love that Jessica's the one who makes the first move. Heh.

This was great! A nice look at a lot of different periods of Sam's life. I especially liked the rabbit one, that was classic - learning that your older brother maybe isn't as invincible as he makes out. Great job! :)

I love it when I see how the boys grew up to be who they are.

I love it when I see that the boys were always who they were--even when they were little.

And I was particularly pleased to see that the initial intent was to eat the rabbit and not just kill it for practice. Thank you for that!

Dean shrugs, and anyone else would have seen nothing but indifference-and maybe a little arrogance-but that's not all Sam sees. There's silent apology in Dean's posture, but there's also a look in his eyes that says, "Hey, this is what we do." I loved that.

This is great -- I like the progression, and yet each has a distinct mood, from the joy in the first one to the desperation in the last, and everything in between. Aw, Sam.

Simply lovely. I especially loved the second one with the sympathy for rabbits all around. :)

Hee! I did feel a little bad for the rabbit, I'll admit. *g*

Thank you!
