I am reading with my fingernails in my mouth more and more, Nan. Excellent chapter. I love the suspense and mystery you are building around the possible vampire.

BTW - I loved this image...

after she had seen a photo in the Planet of a hapless woman descending a ladder clad only in a bedraggled negligee while fire decimated her apartment building, Lois had made certain that she was always decently clad even at night, especially in the winter, and had a robe close by, just in case. Somehow the notion of Superman seeing her scrambling awkwardly down a ladder, while most of Metropolis got a good look at her clad only in semi-transparent lace and goose-bumps, didn't appeal to her at all.
And given Lois' propensity for getting into trouble, the odds are stacked a bit against her.

Ack! Changing plans while Clark's out (protecting drivers out in the snow). Sounds like Lois.

More soon, please.
