This was great. I love the way you've written Sammy -- I can never tell if I hate him and want him dead, or if I feel sorry for him and want him to be saved, and I think that shows excellent characterization on your part. I'm a little frustrated with Dean, as well, but I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that I know how bad things are going to get, and of course, Dean doesn't. So even though I desperately want this story to be linear in some ways (mostly because I want to find out what happens after the "I Dream of Death" story), I like the interesting tension that gets created by revealing the stories out of sequence. Looking forward to more!
