Okay, I admit it. The original ending of the first draft was a tad bit different.
***********
Both Clark and Jimmy gasped. Perry shook his head sadly. "Lost my best reporter, and I don't even know why."
"What do you mean, Chief? How is she?" Clark asked in a meek voice.
The Chief cocked his brow. "How is she? How do you think she is? She's dead."
"Ooops."
****************
But at the last minute I thought that having Lois perish from Clark's 'prank' just a bit too predictible and clique, so I changed it at the last minute. Unfortunately I forgot to amend Perry's comment about losing his best reporter.
Oh well, even the best intentions...
