Shayne, this is fantastic. Clearly, judging from the feedback, you've got us all hooked!
And such great writing. I know this has already been quoted, but it's too good, too powerful, too perfectly *Clark* to dismiss:
He’d become Superman for a reason, and it wasn’t for glory. It wasn’t for power. It was to make a difference, to leave the world better than what he’d found it.
Thanks for sharing this with us, Shayne; can't wait to read your next chapter.
