Well, I haven't been able to comment until now, because the story has been too harrowing. (In fact, I haven't even been able to read it properly - I've really just been skimming the horrible Luthor parts.)

Anyway, this chapter is very hopeful and promising. Clark is on the case, and he's enlisting Perry's help. And I thought that part with Lois in the morgue was extremely fascinating and brilliantly written - the way you built the tension, the way Lois is so incredibly in denial, but the way her denial is, hopefully, beginning to crack....

Keep it coming! Of course, the next time there is a really horrible Luthor chapter I'll just be skimming the part again, reading with my eyes half-closed. But that's just me, you know. I'm so, so hopeful that you'll bring this to a happy ending after all, but no doubt after the sort of rollercoaster ride that will be scary enough to probably be illegal.... wink
