Thank you all for feeding the author.
Morgana and Laura, I couldn't justify working it into the story, but I had envisioned that the reason Floyd's sister-in-law killed his brother Bob was that she caught him cheating on her. Between that and the state he left the apartment in, I can only surmise that he wasn't exactly an upstanding individual. (And now, of course, he's not standing up at all...)
Deadly Chakram, I'd completely forgotten about the landlady. Maybe the pressure of having Superman as a tenant (and worrying about angering him) got to be too much for Floyd, and he decided to sell the place.
Virginia, don't feel bad about forgetting Floyd; there are so many characters one could use. For example, I could easily see what's-his-name -- Barry's agent at the lookalike place -- as having actually recognized Clark as Superman (after all, he survives in his business in part by recognizing physical similarities between people), but having pretended not to, for some reason. There's the cabbie he helped who had the overheated taxi at the start of MoSB. And of course there's Becky Samms who definitely knows the secret; has any fanfic ever been written from her PoV?
Corrina, thank you. I'm delighted you liked the voice. You've seen my writing develop over the years and, both by being an excellent and supportive BR and by letting me see some of your outstanding stories while they were still works in progress, you have contributed greatly to my growth as an author. You know what a challenge I have always found it to write natural sounding dialog. So if this story sounded natural, I give you some of the credit.
And I'll end here by agreeing with you, Susan. I, too, would love to read more stories based on the Canterbury Tales challenge.
Joy,
Lynn
