What a Lake is to a Dead Man
a Jimmy Novak/John Winchester story
"Every lake tells a story. Looking out, Jimmy considers the body of water in front of him and how alive it is . . . A mere arm’s length away, life inhales and exhales as Jimmy is suffocated by reminders that his old world is moving on without him. Each refraction of light hiccups every syllable of a narrative he only witnesses.”
OR
Most days, Jimmy Novak meets John Winchester at their fishing dock, seeking a simple life as “Pal,” away from the supernatural forces that he’s certain “Buddy” knows nothing about. Meanwhile, Dean and Cas begin to reconcile the aftermath of Cas’ confession and Dean’s untimely death. John and Jimmy’s exploration of what Heaven could look like for them is complicated by the consequences of fatherhood - and the fact that Cas and Jimmy look identical, which poses a problem as their histories begin to overlap.
