Shayne, I love how this story begins. Intriguing premise. Lots of questions, and I look forward to finding out the answers. I hope the horse really did fly -- what an amazing image. And a very brave animal if so. "Throughout your lives," the fortune teller said. Plural. Hmmmm.
As usual your words stay with me long after I've finished reading.

I'm loving it  . You've got me completely hooked, intregued, so excited for more. This has such a unique feel to it--it's so different, in such a really great way. My mind is going here, going there, trying to piece every clue together. I'm just so curious as to what is going to happen. Please continue   Laura

So many morsels of gold in this part. I love that Clark was raised by two prospectors as if he'd been found in a gold mine himself. That the Kent family still exists and are reclusive philanthropists. Yep, I bet the masked rider certainly didn't want a clear photo of his face taken. Also, how still can a man with so much energy be? He could move so quickly that the photographer wouldn't notice that Clark moved at all and wonder why his photos were always blurry.

Time to track down that Kent family.... only to find the "descendent" looks EXACTLY like "King Midas." Might even have his name, too!
Ok, so "lives." How many times has she been born? I suspect she's been dreaming about one of them, of late.
Also, there's a gap in the 30-50s? I wonder what caused that? A feared outing of the hooded man? The tragic death of his signficant other? Something else entirely?
Waiting to see what happens next!
CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm a jinx.
JONATHAN: A jinx?
CLARK: Yeah. Let's face it, ever since she's known me, Lois's been kidnapped, frozen, pushed off buildings, almost stabbed, poisoned, buried alive and who knows what else, and it's all because of me.

Yea! Another part so soon. How much if the story have you written? Like The Highlander, I think Clark has been alive for some time, periodically "dying" and leaving his estate to his son/himself. Easier done when there's no photographic evidence! Definitely hooked on this story.

Yes Shayne, we are all interested in finding out more about King Midas. A masked man helping people and then riding off? Mystery upon mystery! Thanks for continuing this story.

A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

Seems like the dream was of Lulu Kent. If he was the Lone Rider and they were together then the hiatus could be related to her passing.
