Just found this and wanted to thank you for a gorgeous read. I loved the understated-ness you gave this, the quiet poignancy and stark simplicity of the boys dealing (or not) with unspoken things, and the smoothness of flow and detail in this story. And I sure as heck never looked for the twist you gave Mena. Wonderful use of myth and characters.
It's heartbreaking to think of long-ago Dean having had not only the fears of a parent, when he was just a child himself, but also the knowledge that evil things really do go bump in the night. And the ending is simply perfect. Pitch perfect dialogue, and then, go granny go - and they're flying, Sam's driving, and the world waits ahead. Yeah. What a gift you have with words. :-)
