Dean turns fourteen today.  He took off to the movies with a girlfriend.  I think her name was Katie.  Quite the ladykiller, that kid.  Like I was at his age.  Hell-raising, foul-mouthed, full of piss and vinegar.  Silas had it right: he's like me.  If I'm not careful with him, by the time he's twenty he'll have left a trail of kids and arrest warrants all over the country.

We got home, and Bobby tells me to go see Silas again.  I didn't want to do it, but when I got to his house, there he was, awake and standing in his front door like he'd never been sick in his life.  I don't know how to explain it.  He said again that Sammy was special, and he wanted some time to talk to Sam and understand what was happening.  So Dean and I left for an hour, and on the way back I saw the Seville.When we got to Silas' place, there was Sammy, sitting on the porch.  He said he and Silas talked for awhile.  I went inside, left Dean out with his brother to catch up.  Inside...I've never seen anything like it.  Or if I have, it was after an artillery strike in Nam.  Silas was just in pieces, little bits of him stuck to the walls and the floor.  Scrawled in the blood on the kitchen cabinets, the words KILL HIMNow I've got to find the sonofabitch that killed Silas, too.

Went to see Silas last night.  He's an old friend of Bobby's, some kind of soothsayer who sells tired.  I went to his place and his daughter told me he's in a coma...since last November 2, the seventh anniversary of Mary's death.  When I went to see him at the hospital, he snapped out of it long enough to tell me a couple things I didn't want to hear.One, he thinks that Sammy's special somehow.Two, Dean and I need to be ready 'for what's to come.'Then he was gone again, out cold.  What the hell does it mean?  Why Sammy?  What does he have to do with any of this?  And what is coming?  Silas either couldn't say anything else, or wouldn't.  He said I brought him out of his coma, and then we was gone back into it. Tomorrow I'm going to leave Sammy with Bobby so I can take Dean deer hunting.  It's out of season, but the Dakotas are lousy with deer and Dean needs to pull a trigger to sharpen him up.  Also I need to think about Sammy.  Why was Ms. Lyle so interested in him?
