Summary: It’s been months of solitary, single-minded killing. Sam may be honing his hunting abilities, but his people skills are growing rusty. Missing scenes for “Mystery Spot.”

Author’s Note: Written for the ‘rusting’ prompt at Taming the Muse and my spn_25 table prompt #3, ‘ritual.’ This story started out as something completely different, then it morphed and grew and ate my Saturday. It’s different from my usual writing, so I’m definitely curious to see how it is received.

oOo

( In these darkest moments, he fears he is losing all the good bits of himself. His compassion, his ability to interact on a personal level…his humanity in general. It’s all rusting, corroding away from lack of use. Soon it will flake away, perhaps for good. )

Warnings: Spoilers for “Nightmare” and “Simon Said.”
