Terry! Welcome back!
I'm sorry to hear that you've had health problems. I hope you're on the way back to full health now.
This was fantastic. You did a great job of getting into Lex's (or is it Alexander's?) head. Right up to the bitter end he was unable to admit his role in all the damage he caused. No one likes to think they're a monster, right? I also found it wonderfully ironic that he was clinging to the hope that Superman was going to save him. Superman! After everything he had done to destroy our hero, it was delicious to have him think it didn't matter or that somehow Superman's instincts to save people could save him. Thinking of himself as an
innocent was a brilliant touch.
I loved the last minute reveal! I enjoyed Clark's reactions. And I loved the research you did, with all the minutia of death row.
I'm glad you're back. I hope we see many more of your stories in the near (and distant) future.
