Synopsis: Sam has learned not to ask questions

Sam wakes up looking at stars. He's still cold - it's always cold in the cage except when Lucifer deliberately creates heat for entertainment purposes (and he certainly has a variety of creative ways to entertain himself with fire) - but it's a different kind of cold. It's not the cold that starts in his bones and fills his hollow insides and freezes him from the center out. It's just normal cold. Earthly cold.

Title is from "Before I Forget" by Slipknot

Stapled shut, inside an outside world and I'm

Sealed in tight, bizarre but right at home

Claustrophobic, closing in and I'm

Catastrophic, not again
