So here it is, set in an unnamed pool hall and presented for your late-night enjoyment. Let me know what you think of this quickie. Life isn't a support system for writing.

I needed a laugh and that was just the right thing! Hilarious! Nothing spoils a good story like the arrival of an eye witness. --Mark Twain

I LOVE the twist that they were already married and that the summer words weren't what we would normally expect them to be. Awesome story!

Quote Lois leaned on her cue and sized up her next shot – a two-bank carom that would knock in the twelve ball and set her up with a good angle at the eight ball. /laughs about her calling her shots/ Quote Lois shrugged. “Well, I’ve had the table for almost an hour, and I’ve got a good stake for my next poker game. But I’m game for another one. Any takers?” So, where do we place her. I’m guessing pre-pilot Lois but post-college. Quote No one spoke for a moment, then a baritone voice spoke from the front door. “How about me?” A farm hick enters a billiard joint… Quote Her voice froze. It was suddenly quiet enough to hear a cricket burp. Her next challenger was Superman. Oh. So, Season 1, then. He does know that blowing on the cue ball isn’t allowed, right? Quote She made the decision to rip her husband a new one when they got home. Quote He grinned. “Just call me Superman, please. And no, I don’t carry money. I can, however, bet a ten-minute flight over the city, payable tonight, if I lose. Is that good enough?” squints I don’t think so, but she’ll have to take it for appearance’s sake. Quote Before he took the shot, Lois said, “I don’t think you’re allowed to float above the table like that.” They don’t have rules about his feet needing to stay on the ground, do they? Quote “You sank the eight ball without calling your shot. You lose.” She shoved the bill back into her jeans pocket. “I think you owe me a ten-minute flight over the city.” She not playing fair. Quote She almost laughed in his face. “I’m ready now. I want you to fly me home so I can tell my husband how I beat Superman at eight-ball.” nods Yes, by distracting him with her feminine whiles. LOIS: I just outsmarted him. Same difference. Quite entertaining and well crafted. Well, the usual stuff, I guess Michael Join us on the #loisclark Discord server!

Great use of the words and love the banter between Superman and Lois throughout the game.

Darth, I looked up the rule about keeping one foot on the floor, and I found that it's intended to keep people from laying on the table and "accidentally" messing up the rest of the pool balls. I couldn't have that, so I added a sentence about not laying on the table to Al's response. It was fun! And I'm pretty sure this is the first challenge I've ever accepted. I know it wasn't what forc4evernaday was expecting, but it's what popped into my mind. I keep telling y'all that my muses are twisted sisters. Maybe you'll believe me now.
