July 22nd excerpt:
The increased speed nearly caught Jacob off guard and he took a longer stride to make sure he kept up with the car. The motor, so powerful in reality, sounded far away like a remote control car from his prodigious height. The tail lights winked with every slight change in the incline as the very odd trio made their way along.
Such excitement! We’ll channel that excitement while we write 😉 Though I’m thinking Jacob’s really wanting to get back to his normal tol size. This is too tol for him.
July 19th excerpt:
“What do you think Jacob means about buying more time?” Dean wondered as he straightened the last of the tent poles in the backseat.
“Guess we’ll find out,” Sam said dryly.
July 18th excerpt:
“Sorry, guys,” was their only warning before Jacob’s fingers curled inwards, ushering Dean back towards his palm. He scooped them both up in his hand and tucked that hand close to his chest where he could defend them.
Sam and Dean didn’t think to tell them where they were going, so at first they might think the boys just went a little farther out in the motel to search for supplies. Eventually, they’ll realize they aren’t coming back, and they’ll go to Dean’s home to search. When they find it abandoned, they’ll be forced to think that the boys were kidnapped or taken away, just like Bree was.
One way or the other, Sam and Dean will have a lot of explaining to do when/if they get back there.
I ended up having it easier than @neonthewrite in my calculations, which is good since at first I just went “Four inches sounds perfect!”
Sam is 6′4″ tall, making him 76 inches tall. 76/4=19.
So our scale is 1:19.
Dean is 6′1″ tall, so taking his 73 inches into account and dividing by 19 makes him only 3.84 inches tall, and our shortest character in the BL crew to his chagrin.
In the opposite direction, Jacob is 6′5″ tall, so 77 inches multiplied 19 times over makes him 1463 inches tall as a giant, or about 122 feet tall! It’ll take a lot of food to keep him fed!
I went to school for physics and sometimes that bachelor degree in science comes in useful. Not as often as I’d like, but I do enjoy a little math fun from time to time.
For @neonthewrite, her Bowman stands 6′2″ tall if he was human-sized, which gives her an awkward scale of 1:18.5, so the numbers aren’t as pretty to work with but you can still figure it out. Sam might look the same height as Bowman while they’re standing together, but he’s technically taller.
In and out. Four inch tall Sam Winchester’s family needs food and all he found is a cracker in a room with a human. How hard can it be to grab it before he’s seen and vanish back into the walls?

The Road Not Taken has ended, but Brothers Lost has just begun! Keep an eye out in the future, as more Brothers Lost stories will appear in the polls!
I’d say Jacob is going to have his hands full of bitty Winchesters in the future!

July 15th excerpt:
Jacob had shot up in height so much that leaves and pine needles were specks to him, and cars were like models. People were pocketable. He reached out with a hesitant, curious hand and nudged at Dean’s elbow. He could still feel the texture of the leather and the creases where Dean bent his arm, but in miniature.
Dean shifted where he sat at the touch, and glanced to the side at his arm. His eyebrows went up at the sight of the huge fingertip brushing against his elbow, able to see every crease of Jacob’s fingerprint without a problem. The fingernail would so thick even a knife would have a hard time cutting in, yet Dean didn’t feel worried at all. He merely shifted away, shrugging the finger off in favor of the dime.
Over to the side, out of the way of the other two, Sam kept quiet and watched the strange interaction between the other two with a fascinated gleam in his eyes. Surreptitiously, he took out his cell phone and powered it up just long enough to snap a picture of the pair, noting briefly the lack of any bars. He grinned at the sight of Dean overshadowed by fingers longer than he was tall, ignoring the ‘threat’ that was close by. Blackmail pictures. Bobby would love to see them.

I just loved reading it so much that I had to draw it! Adorable little sleepy Bowman was too much to handle ^~^
