Wow, BJ!
This story is extremely expressive, especially reviewing all of the history, the discovery, the recognition of all the past clues, from both Lois's and Clark's POV.
But, gee -- did you have to use so much dialogue?
(monologue, actually, since only two(!) words were spoken in the whole story, and both were Clark's -- does that qualify as a soliloquy, since he might as well have been just talking to himself?).
Who would have dreamed that so much could be conveyed with so little spoken aloud?
*VERY* well done.
