Oh, Sara, that was beautiful! OK, I know everyone says it's too short, but I think you left off at a perfect place. Definitely makes us want to see what happens next!

Can I make a suggestion? Just so it sounds more like Clark (or should I say, more like an American), I would suggest changing "metres" to "yards", and also changing "Puss" to "kitty" (or "kitten").

Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing - that was just perfect!!

Great, Sara. Bravo! thumbsup

You are a really talented writer.

One little comment:

Quote
I catch up with her a few hundred metres from the ground
How tall was the building? Considering every floor at 2 and a half metres... with a few hundred metres, say, 300... at least 120 floors. I don't think Lois would choose such a tall building to jump from.

Anyway, I love it and I'm looking forward to seeing more.

See ya,
AnnaBtG.

w00t, Sara! Good story so far, but your parts... are a little small laugh . I thoroughly enjoyed the introspection, great beginning, and wonderful characterization. I was a little taken aback, initially, as I didn't believe Lois would jump eek , but considering her grief, it makes sense.

Waiting for more dance

Well I am glad he caught her. But he has to tell her now. She tried killing herself over Clark, she has to tell him to. More soon. Laura

PS Sorry I accidently posted at the end of the story.

Just read parts one and two back to back - brava! Definitely a darker piece, even for TOGOM, and I look forward to seeing where you go with this. I would say this takes the award for most angsty Lois I've ever read in the "post-death" period.

Another superb part, Sara! goofy Kind of figured it would. Who could resist peeking at such wonderful prose, beautiful poignant introspection and great angst? Not this reader, that's for sure!

Going to be an interesting talk. More! Soon! Please?

Of course you can make a suggestion! Thanks very much for catching this. I try to keep my British phrases to a minimum, though I dont bother about spelling :shrug:

Okay, Anna, good point. However, I have to admit that when I was writing this, I wasnt really focusing on the building, and so didnt think about how high it was. I think it would have to be pretty tall - Superman does spot her on around eye-level, and she has to be able to free-fall for a couple of minutes.

Thanks Rat thumbsup I knew it was happening, but couldnt figure out how to fix it... frown

Thanks so much everyone who read this <bg>. I'm just a little stuck at the moment, but hopefully I should have the next part out within a couple of days smile

Sara.

Sara,
In retrospect, a few hundred metres *is* a bit high. So, I modify my suggestion. Instead of saying a few hundred yards, how about a few hundred feet? That would still be about 20 or 30 stories up, when he catches her - the building itself would be quite a bit taller (I assume she falls for a few seconds before he catches her). Sounds reasonable for a skyscraper in Metropolis.

smile1 This is absolutely *terrific*...STUNNING!!

I particularly liked how you described that life was a dance, and how you needed a partner do able to do it, or else you'd just...stand still. Dead inside. Unable to move forward. And I was so smile1
