A dense shadow spread from beneath his feet like a living thing, swiftly enveloping Dean, Sam, and himself. The next moment, the shadow abruptly contracted, and all three vanished from the room.
Five minutes later.
In a desolate clearing in the suburbs, the shadow appeared again and spread outward. Dean and Sam emerged, along with seven corpses crudely wrapped in body bags, each giving off a faint chill.
These were bodies taken from the morgue at Stetson Hospital—some had died of illness, others in accidents, all of them recently deceased.
