 ziggy.uk 3/21/10 . chapter 1Awesome writing. Was first thinking the biker was Lucifer but perfect that it was God - Jack on a Harley - and that he'd been with Sam! And loved how profound his words were. Just loved this part -
Maybe there was an all knowing being, and he was alive, roaming the countryside, taking on form after form. If so, was he our ace in the hole? Would he come through for Sam, me - the world - in the end?
I didn't know Jack - about Jack. What I did know about Jack, whoever, whatever he, this was - was right about one thing - Sam and I would find a way. Lucifer was going to say uncle - so help me, God.
Loved it. |
 Shawne 'til dawn 10/11/09 . chapter 1My dearest Karen,
I am both honored and humbled to be the first to review this wonderful and thought provoking piece. First of all, the way you write Dean, is right on the nail! I can hear his voice in my head as he speaks on your page- the gravelly- rough and worn voice that sends shivers down my spine. You capture him so well, Karen, but that doesn't surprise me at all, knowing what an excellent writer you are.
As I read your story, I was quickly drawn in- your words, as always so descriptive, painting a picture in my head. I could see Dean at the gas station, his thoughts focused on his brother as the unexpected happens, as Jack, or God, appears on his Harley Davidson! Loved this uncanny portrayal of Go decked out in leather, riding his hog with Dean's amulet around his neck. How awesome is that?

My attention went back to the rider. A slightly older man, maybe an inch shorter than Sam, probably in his early forties, with neatly groomed, short, blond hair, and a clean as a babies-ass shave. He was muscular, rugged looking, wearing wrinkle-free khakis, and a buttoned down gray shirt underneath a cool, sleek, black leather jacket - 'Big Daddy' stitched in yellow on the back. Not your typical biker type. Still straddling the big bike, he used the heel of his cowhide boot to push the kickstand down, weighting the Harley to one side and cutting the engine. Half-leaning against the handlebars, he pulled a pack of Marlboros - the cheap non-filter variety - from his pocket, along with a scratched, sliver Zippo lighter. He turned, looking me dead in the eye, catching me staring at him. His eyes were deep blue - kind. He smiled, and I couldn’t move. I got that been there, done that, I know this guy, feeling. Normally that would creep me out, but right now all I felt was warm, calm, peaceful almost - weird.
I could so see him in my mind's eye and I loved the fact that God needed a vacation too! I am sure that if anyone needs a vacation it would be God. Well done! I loved their conversaton at the gas station and though "Jack" made no promises, it still gave me some hope that somehow, someway, things would be better for the boys. I wish Kripke would borrow your image of Jack and use it in one of his eps. That would be so cool.
Thank you Karen, for sharing this wonderful work of art with me. As always, I leave this story with a lump in my throat,and vivid images in my mind. I sure would love to see more of "Jack" in future stories *hint hint
Until then, keep moving your "Jack"-given fingers to create another story for your loyal fans.
Love and light, Shawne |
