Fantastic job in aligning your story with the song. It was perfect!
I generally don’t like to read stories that are totally introspection. But you did such a great job with this inner dialogue. It feels like you captured Lois Lane at her finest! I could clearly visualize her actions/expressions as these thoughts were running through her head!
It was amazing to listen in as Lois attacked this intense personal situation like she dug into a story. She logically reasoned her way through the anger, hurt and grief while weighing options and consequences. I’m not surprised that she considered walking away from the matter entirely. And who can blame her.
I can’t make sense of it, no matter how many mental gymnastics I perform.
IMO, this was one of the dumbest moves Clark ever made!
I appreciated the maturity Lois demonstrated here that we didn’t really see in the TV episode. She appears to be completely honest with herself as she decides what she really wants. And, rather than using her anger/rage as a weapon that results in damage to herself and/or others; she harnesses those emotions with her stubborn determination and independent, confident self to formulate a plan.
And who knows? Maybe I’ll triumphantly win him back. Maybe I’ll lose him forever, another spectacular federal disaster to add to my collection. I won’t know unless I try.
I don’t intend to lose him.
I. Am. Mad. Dog. Lane.
I’ll get him back or I’ll die trying.
Because even after all he’s put me through, he’s worth the effort.
And, more importantly, I am worth the effort.
He may have drawn some fine lines in the sand, but I’ve never met a line I haven’t been willing to cross or been able to erase.
There is no doubt in this readers mind, that your Lois Lane will be victorious! Thank you for this well written tale. I enjoyed it very much.
