Three Hour Drive

For this week's wednesday100 challenge. Missed the deadline again. Here it is anyway.


Three Hour Drive

It's the journey more than the destination.

It's not that Clark doesn't like Metropolis. It's big and exciting and crammed with people and a million things to look at.

But it's not the thought of the city that makes Clark's heart squeeze tight when Lex smiles and dangles the car keys in front of him.

They'll get there eventually--Clark knows that. But for a little while at least, he can imagine that the drive will go on forever: just him and Lex, on the road, somewhere between Smallville and Metropolis.

And he wishes the journey didn't have to end.

Oh, I like this one a *lot*. It's just a blink of a scene, ephemeral like the journey to Metropolis, but it doesn't feel squished into the 100 words at all. And your Clark is just perfect. :) Nice job.

This is lovely, Serenade. Slightly wistful and a sense of yearning. An excellent use of 100 words.

Thanks. :) I wish, like Clark, that they could just go driving off into the sunset together.
