Michael!
I started to wonder about the paragraph regarding "crush" but then it fit so well with self-loathing Clark. I have to admit I skimmed over "obese" the first time and caught it the second.
How very evil of you! Excellent work on the bait and switch. You had me fooled. I, too, needed to read it again before coming to comment.
Lots of fun. You should do this every year! (Write a story, that is.) Welcome back!

Michael has some very wonderful stories on the dark side. Even one or two which are completed.

/Just joking. I think he only has that one uncompleted one. Nudge, nudge, nudge, Michael./ (There's a great one set during HiM about playing games...)
