Surprise, surprise!
Very good.
Thanks.

This one was so scary! My breathing actually sped up a bit. The picture you painted with your descriptions was simply amazing...I was shocked when it was John. I guess this would be one of the many scars Sam wouldn't know the origin of come later on.

Ow. I'm assuming that this is set sometime while Sam was at Stanford?

Believably scary! I was surprised when the rescuer turned out to be John not Sam, though I liked it very much that he was there. I'm assuming this happened during the Sanford years. John's words sounded very convincingly like Sam's would have been: we've seen Sam be like John in his anger; is he also like him in this area too, when someone he loves is badly hurt? (We know Sam responds like this, having seen him speak this way on the show, but hadn't seen John so it's a cool thought that those words would reflect John's desperation.)

Just a minor thought: I wish that Dean's shotgun blasts hadn't missed; he'd worked so hard to get to the gun and was so determined to go down fighting that I wish his effort had been vindicated. He still could have needed his dad to rescue him though as twin shotgun blasts might not have been enough to put down the monster. I just wish the fugly had died from a combination of Dean and John's bullets.

How did I miss this little fic? And how to you manage to pack so much into so few words? Excellent story!

Your stories are always wonderfully received, but this, specifically, I'd like to see as a longer story. A hurt Dean, Daddy to the rescue... I'd like it very much. Would you do that for us? Please?

First - WONDERFUL! Second - I'm hugely sorry for taking so long to review after I badgered you to write! Third AWESOME!

I'd actually been saving this, and then life got crazy... so worth the wait... Of course, now I want to know how they got out of the alley - and fantastic monster... And John to the rescue! Or is Dean hallucinating? Thanks so much for this!

Intense little fic. I definitely enjoyed! Skipped over to see the picture, too. I loved John at the end - I totally did not expect that.

Wonderful story! ...As always. ;) I interpreted it as Dean actually dying there. His dad is dead as we all know and Dean was mortally wounded so... John came for him but I'm sure it must've been in death. (Wonder if I got that right or if it's a story that can go both ways, with the end being whatever the reader decides.) Anyway, thanks for this little piece.

Take care!

WAH! Beautiful!

so nice to hear John coming to the rescue at the end there

brilliant writing! You're always excellent!]]]Loved it!

Wow. Besides that ...

a) It's great to hear, read, whatever, from you again.

b) Creepy, angsty and brilliantly written story.

c) Terrific picture. I'm impressed.

So ... wow. And thanks for sharing.

*Runs excitedly and hugs Terry* Hey you! Good to see you! :D

I just went to look at the artwork. Wow! Scary stuff!

Loved the fic. It was a surprise at the end to find out that it was John who saved him.

My poor Dean! *sniff*

Nicely done, my friend. :)

Ohhh, this was fantastic! I love the descriptions! *GLEES* Just...wow! I couldn't see the pic (my PC is being dumb) but I know your work and I can imagine the beauty to go with the words! thank you for sharing this!

*hugs*

That was great, you can certainly paint as vivid a picture with your words as you do with your art.

I didnt look at the picture until after I read the story and I had no problem picturing the monster as it slowly came toward Dean and the image I had of Dean on the ground covered in blood was exactly what you drew.

I was so afraid Dean wasnt going to make it, but then "I'm not...going anywhere...Dad" Perfect.

Thanks Terry, this was a good fast read. I enjoyed it. Thank you.

I also think it's the first time JW showed up when Dean needed him. Did this happen when they were hunting together during Sammy's "Stanford" years?
