WELCOME BACK!
As Kal chopped the vegetables, the rhythmic sound of the knife against the cutting board echoed in the kitchen, punctuated by the occasional sizzle as he added them to the pan. Each movement was deliberate, a testament to the newfound pace of his life in Moore.
From the very opening lines I was impressed by the
sounds of Kal's life. Also, since we are talking about an episode where Clark becomes blind I got a little nervous. Than you mention his life in Moore and the entire thing came together. Yikes.
The scent of coffee drifted through the air as a nearby colleague set their cup down with a soft thunk against their desk. The rhythmic tapping of keyboards filled the space around him, but Kal felt oddly removed from it, as if he were listening through a filter, just a step removed from the world moving forward without him. The steady pulse of newsroom activity should have felt grounding, but today, it only highlighted the disconnect.
A newsroom, unfortunately, not The Daily Planet's newsroom. Especially since there is no mention of news monitors.
Anderson scoffed. “Not a chance. Your article caught fire.” He leaned against the desk, clearly pleased with himself. “I told you, Ellis, you’ve got a voice people pay attention to. No point trying to avoid the spotlight now.”
But that was exactly what Kal had been trying to do.
Intriguing. Will keep an eye out for this one.
