Must... bookmark... this... must... read... Dancing... in... Dark...

Hey there I was just reading the part about the sledgehammer being able to break through the concrete wall and well theres usually rebar and fence wire in there to help support it. So even if he was able to somehow break it down with a sledgehammer (usually you need something like a jackhammer not sure what for a wall) he'd need like some bolt cutters or a blow torch to get through the rebar and such.
My husband worked in the air force doing just that laying down concrete and asphalt for 5yrs and they had to use a jackhammer to actually get it up.
The thickness of the wall for basements especially in such a large building like a dorm would probably be pretty thick like 8in or something. Now if it was only like 3-4in he could probably put a hole in it with a sledgehammer with some work.
I don't mean to criticize I know that it looks great to have Dean just busting through the wall because he has an adrenaline surge because he fears for his brothers life.
I did some research but wasn't able to really come to a good answer on what they use to break down the walls...probably because normal people don't usually do that they call in the professionals. heh

Another note I'm surprised too that Dean didn't hear Sam shouting while they were looking for a secret passage as good as a hunter he is I can't believe she heard it first.
Unless of course Sam was knocked out and just heard the last shout and started shouting when Dean kinda gave up.

Okay just one more little thing like you mentioned in the story where the girls seemed so fine with the whole freak show and stuff.
It doesn't really make sense usually their screaming and running and then not to ask any questions about why the heck their armed to the teeth with not only normal weapons but stakes and holy water?
It might have made sense had they spent at least a few days to a week getting to know the girls and they trusted them and maybe suspected they were you know odd but in a good way.

Alright thats it I really am enjoying the story I just had a few uh concerns.
Don't hate me! :)

So since I liked the other story of yours Sensory Perception I decided to go ahead and check out the others you'd written and then realized I just needed to start from the beginning cus there was a lot of good ones. :)
So anyways here I am and I'm loving the first chapter I can't wait to find out what it is thats taking all those coeds.

Considering how much I loved Hanging on by a Thread, Stroke of bad Luck and Retribtion, I had to go back and read all your stories. I loved this one just as much. Off to read the sequel.

having noticed your latest story thought i would read some of your earlier ones. off to read more now, looking forward to seeing how this one and its sequel turns out

Oh no! What's wrong with Sam?

I've been meaning to read this for ages!

Very good first chapter - packed with lots of info! Great start.

I loved the story and think you did a great job. I have really, really mixed feelings about the last chapter. I think I hate it but I trust you to streighten things out in the next one.

I just wanted to compliment you on this story. I especially like the way that you wrote Dean's emotions here. I consider myself a strong person and I have my meltdowns in private and come out ready to fight again much the way Dean did. I also like the way that you have written Sam with some fire. Sam Winchester is no one's doormat- not his fathers and not his brother's. Kindness,compassion, and love should never be mistaken for weakness.

I'm just getting around to your work. You write very well! I'll definitely have to check out the sequel. What a very interesting take you have on this Winchester universe! YOu do like the paralyzing factor, don't you, you evil woman! Well, I guess I'll have to find out what happens to Dean.

:D

OMG i did not expect that at all i was just hoping Sammy didn't die. That can't be the end =( It was very good though i was latched on to every word.

I know I have mentioned a thank-you in your Sequel to this story, but after reading this one again, so I can go directly onto "Phantasm", I felt I needed to officially comment.
I realized I never hit review on this story. I think it was because I came upon it late, and when it looked liked after everything Dean and Sam fought through, you had killed Sam at the end, I was upset. I really dislike death fics, yet you started "Phantasm", caught my interest and I followed your continuing story with hope it would have a happy ending. (Which you did an awesome job on!)
I really appreciate how you incorporate your medical knowledge into this story and the sequel. I don't deal with neuro injuries, but I have friend who learned the hard way, drinking and driving does not mix, and is now in a wheelchair. The situations that Sam had to deal with while in the chair are true to life.
The way you wrote Dean and Sam, their feelings, the way Sam worked through the five stages, awesome!
Thanks for sharing your stories.

I'm not quite sure how I missed this story on my daily searches for new fics. But honestly, very happy that I did finally read it.

It's wonderful. And I the twist at the end gave me the chills. That's what I call the "Joss" rule. No one is ever allowed to be happy for more than an 'episode'. I'm definitely reading the sequel!

im super confused...
