Some more interesting fodder presented here. I'm sure Yvonne gets a kick out of the gentle readers constantly 'psychoanalyzing' her story.
First, I thought Clark was a little insensitive to Linda. I'll chalk up some of his early incoherencies to his shock and disappointment, but his actions with her bordered on rude. He should've at least been rationale enough to thank the woman for her flower pictures.
Actually, I think Clark should be curious, and take an interest in Linda. Caring about another individual with obvious problems might be good for him. Help him take some of the focus off his own self pity and realize there are others even worse off then he.
Another intriguing possibility is... We know that Kryptonians are telepathic, and that a certain bond exists betwenn Loises and Clarks. So, what if all that 'losing her' mumbo jumbo George is spewing is just so much hog wash? What if Clark is actually telepathically 'tapping into' Lois in a particularly harrowing time of need? Hmmmmm, maybe?
Another thing that I have to bring up. Maria also mentioned this. Everyone knows that Clark Kent is Superman, and many people know that he has been, and is being treated for 'problems'. It seems to me that it will be extremely hard, if not impossible for people to ever really trust Superman again. Weak, flawed 'humans' can have our sympathy and support, and will still be accepted as friends and family. But, for the most part, we prefer our Super Heros perfect. This kind of problem is not good for the old public image.
Story is going good. You make the whole process quite believable, but now is the time for some whams!
Tank (who thinks it would be an interesting development if, while Clark is incapcitated by his 'problem', we find out that Lois actually was in dire danger and as a result of Clark not being 'able' to respond to her dilemna she actually does perish... can you say major guilt?)
