Title: New Normal
Muse: Sam
Sam picked up a book from the shelf and grumbled into his cell phone. “You stab it in the heart.”
“What?” came the garbled voice of his brother.
“Stab it. The heart.” Sam looked around, trying to keep his voice down and out of anyone else’s attention. Not that that was easy when his brother had bad phone reception.
“Sammy, I can barely hear you.”
“I said, you stab it in the heart!” Sam nearly yelled, flinching at himself. The librarian shushed him, and he nodded silently. His voice shook a little as he continued, “Okay. Are you guys cool? Can I have a normal life for five minutes now?”
“There’s no such thing as normal for us, Sammy,” Dean replied, and then he hung up.
Sam shook his head. “Yeah, whatever.” He grabbed another book from the shelf while putting his phone in his pocket. He turned around, intending to head to a table to start his homework, but ran straight into someone. He stepped back, clearing his throat and keeping his eyes down. “Sorry. I, uh… didn’t see you.”
