Since it's a TOGOM interlude we know that although Clark appears to be dead at the end of this, he's not really. But for those horrific hours in the newsroom, Perry of course, doesn't know that. Interesting to see how you developed this - Perry could as easily have come down on the other side of his gut instinct that CK=S, and sat back waiting for the resurrection. <g>
Beautifully written, as always, Chris. Trickier to achieve than what it appears, given your seemingly effortless prose, when you realize that it's all Perry's POV and that his voice comes through as distinctive as ever.
