𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐄𝐗𝐓 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆, 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐋 𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐌 looks like a paper bomb went off. Articles are taped to the walls. Photographs are spread across both beds. Books lie open spine-up, pages bent and marked. Breakfast is long gone, eaten too fast to matter, and now the room smells like stale coffee, printer ink, and the kind of restless determination that only shows up when none of us have slept enough.
Sam and I sit shoulder to shoulder at the computer, the glow of the screen washing over both of us. Dean is stretched across one of the beds with a book in his hands, though he is close enough to lean in whenever he wants to argue, which, with Dean, is basically inevitable.
"So every religion in every world culture has the concept of demons and demonic possession, right?" Sam says, his voice low but intent. He keeps his eyes on the screen as he talks, fingers moving over the keyboard. "I mean Christian, Native American, Hindu, you name it."
"Yeah," Dean says from the bed, "but none of them describe anything like this."
I scroll through another article, skimming fast, then slow down when one line catches my eye. "Well, that's not entirely true," I say.
