I can see how this would be difficult for some people to read. But I am very intrigued! What happened to Lois? How will she reach Clark (they reach each other!?) after all he has been through. My only question is about this description:
He was very tall. His posture was straight and his shoulders broad. That, and the lack of grey in his hair, gave him an illusory impression of youthfulness. He was probably over fifty - but, in different circumstances, he could have appeared to be a decade younger.
Is it because of all he has been through why he appears so old?
And thanks for the preview of compassion that is to come. It is certainly needed!
Can't wait to see where you take us!
