Drabble: Firsts and Lasts

Another drabble posted from the SFTCOL(AR)S drabble thread.  Prompt was Last.

Firsts and Lasts

There's so many firsts.

The first time he realized kids had mothers, families stayed put. The first time he realized his father lied.

Some are better than others. His first rebellion, his first dream of more.

Then, his first real steps by himself: his first days at college, starting to figure out who he was.

His first love, his first loss. His first choice to hunt.

His first death.

After, it's like deja vu, watching his life fall apart again.

Because Dean's only got a year, and Sam has to stop that, even if it's the last thing he does.

Ouch! But that is so Sam-ish. And the ending is perfect: even if it's the last thing he does. Sam will find a way to save Dean and he has to believe that and if it means sacrificing himself, he'll do it. The Trickster sure got that right.

You pack a powerful punch in those few words.

Dude I love your icon...

:)

Sam-ish! Should so be a word. I really wish the show would give us a proactive Sam. The show really missed the boat on that one (and everything!!).

Nice drabble. I like how it shows Sam's desperation.
(hope you don't mind I've been reading your fics on FFNET and I'd like to add you as a friend)
