Saneak preview, and maybe I can get some constructive critisizm? here it is:
To everyone else in Metropolis, that day had been one of the sunniest, most beautiful days of the year. Everybody seemed to be outside rather than in their homes, offices, and classrooms, basking in the sunlight and enjoying the warmth that was so unusual for a November day. Not to say that anyone was complaining; children may have been waiting anxiously for the snow to arrive to build snowmen and have snowball fights, but the grown-ups were only too familiar with the traffic, the cold, and the wetness the snow would bring to be looking forward for its arrival.
The silver Jeep Cherokee parking near the river contained one of the only people who were immune to the beauty of the day. Even though Lois did ask to have the day off, no one suspected the reason to be depression, on a day like this. But sitting in her car, not wanting to be alone in her apartment but longing for solitude still, Lois was anything but enjoying the day. Re-reading the document that was in her hands time and again, she was desperately trying to find a mistake in it. But no matter how many times she read it, she could not find any evidence of a mistake. Being the investigative reporter that she was, it probably meant there was none, and she knew it.
“Oh, my God, please let there be a mistake! Please don’t let this be true…” She was muttering to herself.
Good writing, too. Poor Lois... what year is it, and where might Clark be? You can't just leave me hanging there like that! <g>
