Comments here please! Again, let me know of any mistakes, and remember the new posting schedule is going to be Tues/Wed (depends on where you are in the world and if you stay up as late as I do). Thanks!

Poor Clark getting all paranoid. I'm surprised that his over-protective behavior doesn't seem familiar with Lois, though. I mean, isn't he always like that? Lois! That was cruel ribbing of Clark, reminding him that they couldn't do anything while home alone together. (Although, everyone knew what he was thinking... what HE wanted to do). Does Jimmy know about the hiatus on loving, or was he just assuming he knew what Clark was thinking? (And he'd be right.) And did Jimmy's laugh seem excessively evil to anyone else? Maybe Clark is going crazy. What happened to those photos? Is someone setting up a surprise party for Clark? Is that why he shouldn't trust his friends? Or was this warning about Dr. Klein (still leaving that direction)? Once again, got me on the edge of my seat with more questions than answers. I don't mind if you post every Tues AND Wed.

Is the kryptonite making Clark schizophrenic? Could the call be just a voice in his head, like the "Don't trust them"? Andreia

This is getting evil.
Some have speculated that the whole thing is some kind of party surprise for Clark. I don't buy it. The tone is too chilling, the little things only Clark sees and hears are too numerous. Something very disquieting is happening, and I don't know if Clark is about to go round the bend or if someone really is after him.
Or maybe it's both. After all, just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean that there really isn't someone out to get you.
Once, when Alfred Hitchcock was going through customs after a trip out of the country, he was asked what he did for a living.
"I'm a producer," he replied.
"What do you produce, sir?" came the question.
"Gooseflesh."
Same here. The tension is increasing with each installment. Speaking of which, where's the next one?

Originally posted by VirginiaR: Poor Clark getting all paranoid. I'm surprised that his over-protective behavior doesn't seem familiar with Lois, though. I mean, isn't he always like that? Familiar, yes. Over-the-top, demandingly protective, so as to storm into their boss' office? Not as much. Does Jimmy know about the hiatus on loving, or was he just assuming he knew what Clark was thinking? (And he'd be right.) And did Jimmy's laugh seem excessively evil to anyone else? Maybe Clark is going crazy. Yeah, Jimmy knows. Last chapter he overheard Clark telling Lois about it, then spewed coffee all over Clark... Safe to say he knows. What happened to those photos? Is someone setting up a surprise party for Clark? Is that why he shouldn't trust his friends? Or was this warning about Dr. Klein (still leaving that direction)? Photos aren't really important at this point. Just in there to add a little bit to Clark's confusion. As for the rest... Once again, got me on the edge of my seat with more questions than answers. I don't mind if you post every Tues AND Wed. Tuesday AND Wednesday?! Kidding. No, just tuesdays, though I may be posting early this week due to the terror known as my younger brother's teenage friends staying with us starting TUESDAY! THE HORROR!!!!! Thanks for popping in!

Who do you think I am, some author who manages to post parts to super-long epics every other day, like someone we know?? Kidding. Actually, it's every third day now, and my cushion keeps shrinking. I may have to add extra days between posting parts again, but I need that FDK to keep me motivated. It's not like ML which was basically completed before I started posted. I'm addicted to the FDK now. I just got it! Clark's writing a super long piece of FanFiction and it's driving him insane!

"Gooseflesh." Love this story! And I'm flattered at the comparison Hitchcock is a God. Speaking of which, where's the next one? Hopefully, coming soon. Maybe before Tuesday.

Oh my stars and garters. I come back from vacating in the Rockies for this wild ride! Write more as soon as you can! Hope all went well with your brother's friends being over...Yikes.
