At first I was almost angry about this, because - I mean, how could Clark do this to Lois? It seemed as if he allowed her to go on thinking that he was really dead and gone, and so she apparently grieved and mourned herself into an early grave. When he could just have told her!

Ah, but there is apparently more to your story than just the first part. So I hope that Lois isn't dead. And I, too, hope that Clark is searching for her. (Why didn't he search for her sooner, though? Ah, well - I guess you'll tell us, won't you?)

This is really well written, as others have said. So please come back with more soon and restore my faith in Clark! Show me that he isn't the kind of guy who lets his girl needlessly believe that her beau is dead!
