SPN: Memoriam

Title: Memoriam
Rating: T
Genre: Angst. Extreme heavy-duty angst.
Word count: Just shy of 1,600.
Spoilers/Warnings: Occurs the week after 3.16. Major spoilers for that, and flashback to "Fresh Blood" as well. (Hopefully) Tear-jerker.
Disclaimer: Not mine. Also, don't own Tennyson's "In Memoriam", and quotes from "Fresh Blood" are courtesy my DVDs.
Notes: Inspired by Alfred, Lord Tennyson's "In Memoriam, 7" (which is what is quoted and centered at the beginning and the end of the story). Running this unbeta'd, mostly to see if I can still get away with it every now and then, and also because I wanted to get this up before Supernatural starts up again tonight. (Don't worry, eight, it won't happen very often. :) Be warned people - this is possibly a tear-jerker. I haven't heard yet, so I don't know for sure, but that's kind of what I was going for.

And I'll be writing some fluffy fic soon to make up for all of this angst. It depressed me, too.

Summary: It's been a week. And Sam is finally breaking.

( The room was quiet, save for his near-silent breaths.  )
