Bakasi, I really like this well written tale! Very creative and unique backstory for Clark Kent. Excellent characterization of each actor provides essential support to advance the captivating plotline.
Fantastic job of delivering on your PG-13 rating for “angst, violence and language”. But, somehow doing so without subjecting the reader to horrible portrayals which generally lead me to change the channel! You completely captured the intensity of a terrifying situation (even for Lois, our beloved intrepid reporter!) to the point that I was holding my breath—particularly during the hyperventilation scene. And I too, shuddered along with Lois, at the lewd actions of Ray and the smell of his sweat.
From beginning to end the story was packed with intrigue and edge of the seat excitement, together with just enough introspection and hints about a potential developing friendship. The darkness was well balanced with sufficient light and promise to compel the reader to see this journey through to a victorious end.
I would really like to spend more time in this universe because I do like this Lois and Clark. It was nice to see Lois more assertive in pursuit of a closer relationship with Clark for a change. So, I hope you are serious about a sequel!
Thank you for sharing your outstanding storytelling with us!
