Hi, Pat! I welcome readers at any time.
The first thing that comes to mind is out of my real life. The living things that are not real, even though something in the back of your head tells you that it could be real reminds me of my mother's cooking. My mother was highly educated, but not much of a cook. She thought that a recipe was a suggestion. Any or all of the ingredients could be left out. As a result, it took till I went away to college for me to learn what real food tasted like. I think Lois is having the same problem. She has the main ingredient of her life stuck in the back of her head, but she cannot taste real life because it is missing in her existance.
Wow, Pat! I didn't know we were syblings! My mom's the same way (I especially liked it when she left out all the ingredients for dinner and we ate scrambled eggs instead). I'm more of a baker than chef (I leave the real cooking up to my hubby.) Baking is a science, you fudge around (no pun intended) with the recipe it doesn't work the same. I like your analogy here.
Lots of people say that the crust is their favorite part of a pie, but I believe that even they would agree that an apple pie without apples would not be the same.
It is kind of strange to learn just how undone Lois could be without Clark in her life to complete the picture. We all know that Lois is an incomplete package without Clark, but this story gets the point across in a way that most of us would not think of unless we saw how the missing ingredient made the end results different.
As I keep telling my Betas, "It's A Wonderful Life", Clark Kent. More unraveling to come.
Why, thank you, Pat. Liking my stories is always accepted.
Lois is not complete, regardless of who comes into her life to fill the void, unless she has Clark/Superman to fill in the vacant spaces. So, please let us see the whole recipe put together so that we can watch Lois live life the way it was meant to live.
It's difficult to be a complete when you are missing the other half of your soul, which is why both canon Clark and canon Lois were lost until they found each other.
