Talk about waiting until the last minute! The year is almost over, I was looking for your take on TOGOM for this year.
It is hard to imagine that Lois would lose anyone and be so calm about it, especially Clark. Jimmy was right to be concerned. Lois seemed to have folded in upon herself. Thankfully, Clark showed up when she needed him. It would have been fascinating to read about her reaction.
Making out a will and getting her affairs in order is another reaction to the lost of a loved one. The last thing Lois would have wanted was someone squabbling over who was going to take care of her fish.
Well written story, it would be good to read more of your work in the future.
Please accept my condolences on the death of your friend. Totally get where you are coming from.
