Another typically excellant story.
Your altLois was very 'lovable'. She was 'Lois' but not quite so hard-edged, nor was she quite so guarded. Nice.
Too bad about Tempus... not.
It would be fun to see an epilogue where Lois makes her debut back among the living. I bet Perry'll drop his teeth.
Tank (who figures this *could* be the start of another loooong series... yes?)
