Terry, using "The Narrow Margin" is an awesome idea! It's one of my favorite "film noir" and I'm dying of curiosity to read how you rewrote this masterpiece.

I must say this begins wonderfully... I won't say more in order not to spoil the fun for the readers, except that it would seems that you kept all the originals elements of the original script, policemen included. (Yipie)

Great banter at the beginning (Klaatu etc) and I really appreciate how you weaved Clark's and Mason's relationship into the story.

So there's no Superman, but Mason knows about Clark's abilities. Interesting twist in that AU.

I eagerly await the next instalment.
