This was an incredibly powerful story, Lynn. So glad you decided to post, even though it must have been difficult. My sympathies are definitely with you. *hug*
I think you captured it well in the scope of the story, too. Lois being bruised all the time, Clark wanting to protect her. There's a little bit of hope in the ending but it's not unrealistic. Very strong little story and as always I'm looking forward to more from you.
