now i’m thinking about an au where dean does kill sam in “brother’s keeper,” and sam’s ghost haunts that restaurant forever after

sam can never rest because he can’t be certain his brother is okay wherever death sent him 

but sam’s spirit is so strong, and people, all sorts of people who drive by on the highway or live in a 10 mile radius or come because of hearsay, are drawn to that place. they can’t explain what it makes them feel, being there – it’s not a bad feeling exactly, more like heartache or a resigned, steadfast kind of solitude. it makes them want to call up their family members they’ve been estranged from for years or just haven’t talked to in a few hours. it makes them want to talk – to open up – so they do, speaking to nothing but thin air in an empty room, and yet, still feeling comforted 

soon people start to leave letters; to whom, they don’t know. they fill that abandoned place with notes and messages on scraps of paper, on the walls in marker or paint, telling their secrets, sharing parts of themselves and leaving unburdened 

the ghost that haunts the place is an urban legend. no one can pin down what exactly brought the ghost there, or what caused its demise. it’s all shrouded in mystery but there’s a lot of emotion around there, that’s for sure

a few years later the restaurant makes a list of most haunted locales – not because of anything sinister or terrifying occurring there, but because people just can’t explain the bittersweet aura of the place, or what attracts them there, or why sometimes, they even come back more than once 

they say at night you can see someone sitting in the doorway of the restaurant under the awning – a tall man, dressed in plaid, reading all of his letters one by one
