Clark fussing over drinking the peroxide
Clark, you've eaten bombs. You've eaten LOIS' COOKING. Don't be such a baby.
Yes, he is a big baby, but that's not the real reason he's resisting drinking the peroxide. Tricia nailed my thinking precisely . . .
He’s scared that it may not work for him and that would be devastating. He feels as if he just couldn’t cope with more disappointment.
I absolutely adored your Reader's Digest version
Thank you! I almost forgot that I had written that! It sort of does describe Wells perfectly, though. I have to say, he is gone in this story except there is a hint of him in the epilogue. He never actually shows his face, though. Since the story is already written this time, I can assure you of that.
I hope this story doesn't let you down. It is really just a lot of fluff that I tried to make sort of funny . . . don't know if I succeeded, though

Part 2 will be posted shortly
