We see the super side of him all the time, but this is definitely not that kind of story.
Can't wait until you pour some "happy" into this story. Hang on, Clark. Vicki is going to make Lois realize how much she wants to be with you. I can feel it!
Fun-black-mooded (if that is possible) story. We know that love, health, and happiness is just around the corner. Waiting for your version.

Thank you, Pat. That's exactly what I wanted to showcase in this piece. Clark isn't always the eternal optimist. There are times (and we do get glimpses of this throughout the series) when he *does* get depressed, doubt himself, lose all his confidence. It's one of the many things I like about the show, and, in particular, Dean's protrayal of Clark. He is very, very human, even if his DNA isn't. And, I'll admit, it's a heck of a lot of fun to write from such a much less seen part of Clark's mind.
Happiness is coming. Probably in a few days. I'm still working out the kinks in the second half. I finished the writing part yesterday, but have less than half of it polished. I'm reworking it as I go.
