an ode to the rainbow slinky

[meesasometimes]

Sam thought of the slinky he once had as a kid. Dean won it at the fair throwing darts at balloons, "candy from a baby Sammy" Dean had smirked. He remembered the closed perfect tight coils and how Dean had run through the house with it, one end under the leg of a kitchen chair, stretching it and snapping it back over and over again. Later they had stood toe to toe and wrapped it around, linked the ends together, fitted the circles on top of each other forming a never ending ellipse.  A rainbow of colors. Eventually the coils tangled in on themselves, mashed together in a dubious mess of cursive ins and outs, an elusive poem written in rainbow ink.

Last summer I made an attempt at a 30_sentences challenge. Apparently 30 sentences are beyond my reach. But I did a bunch of random boy writing and this was one of the things I wrote after going to the fair in the summer. It has been hiding in a spiral notebook that I may one day burn. Please ignore tenses, sentence structure, punctuation, and everything else that is important in writing and look only at the content. I've kinda been kripked and I love it... :) thank you.

NOTE: I am not a writer, I am only pretending to be one for this post....also I resisted the urge to write this in rainbow colors. You're welcome.

It was recently pointed out to me by bythedamned that my comment was nearly cannon. Apparently I left a story comment with my rainbow slinky imagery back in the fall!!! Yeah!!!! I have a timeline. :) This made me happy.

Awww hon I absolutely adore that and also have no idea what you're talking about with that pretending nonsense. it's such a wonderful, joyous snippet of their childhood, it's nice to think of them actually having some fun. Really, really lovely. I hope you share some more *squeezes you tight* ♥

ETA: Ok now that I've actually seen the episode I FREAKING ADORE THIS EVEN MORE! *squees and flails and jumps up and down and then twirls you about* heee! so, so awesome! *dances* :DDDD

Wow, that was really pretty. I especially like that last line. It seems to me that you actually are a writer. You should definitely share some of your snippets. Also, I didn't any see any issues with the sentence structure, tenses or punctuation, but I must admit that I play fast-and-loose with those things and just call it "style". ;)

thank you, but no no no no, no more snippets to be shared. Unless Sam and Dean go back in time and rake blueberries for a summer they are stuck in Maine (self-indulgent writing), and Dean experiments in the kitchen with all things blueberry, and Sam's tongue is permantly stained purple.

only then.

*g* thank you for my new head-canon. This is adorable and totally why Dean loves rainbow slinkies so much.
