The late-night atmosphere was dense with the smell of recent rain and a sorrow so old it had settled into the walls.

Dean felt his heart splinter once more at the sight, the accumulated mass of forty years in damnation settling like stone across his back as he forced one hesitant foot forward, craving to close the impossible distance between the living and the dead.
