Thanks for the welcome back, Morgana, and your wonderful encouragement with this story. So glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks, Laurach. Jimmy's voice is hard to capture, so I'm glad it came through for you!

Wow, VirginiaR, you certainly have a way of making a writer feel good! blush Thanks for the wonderful compliments! Lois tearing her gown was one of the first images I had in mind before writing this. I've always felt this particular time period was one of the lowest for Clark, which is another reason I chose this scene for Jimmy's story--you picked out all my core scenes, in fact! smile And yay for another ML fan! Thanks for the great feedback!

Thanks, Mouserocks! I take any feedback, even tired ones! laugh

Love the detailed feedback, Deadly Chakram! I'm glad that even after hearing all my problems with writing this story that you enjoyed it! blush I do think that Jimmy could have figured out the Secret and toyed with the idea of letting him find out here--or already know--but it was already about ten pages longer than I anticipated! smile Glad the photography analogy worked! Thanks!

Thanks, lcfan99! Words can be very powerful--it made my day to hear that you thought mine were.

Short or not, it was great to hear you enjoyed the story, KenJ!

Thanks, everyone!
