drabble

[attolia]

I wrote this drabble for the wednesday100 this week, but I'm not really happy with it. I wanted something that would look like Clana until the end when it became clear that it was just a cover for her to slip information to Superman. It might have worked better if I had built up the Clana until the very end and spend less time on what info she had, but I just don't think I can do convincing Clana.

Now people are asking me just what Lex was planning to do and I never figured that out!


Well, at least I felt well enough to write.

Lana walked briskly toward the edge of the Navel Observatory grounds. When she was sure no one had followed she slipped into a cluster of bushes.

"Clark?" she whispered, then strong arms enveloped her. "God," she sighed, her lips next to his ear. "I can't believe this is happening."

"What is it? He said, sensing her urgency. "Tell me!"

Lana held him close. "Pete just found out ... it's all ready. Lex is really going to do it, Clark. You have to stop him!"

A quick hug, a blur, then a flash of red and blue rose to the sky.

Well, it's a cliffhanger and therefore by its nature unsatisfying. The problem with drabbles is that it's not all that difficult to write something interesting in 100 words, but it's incredibly hard to write a story in 100 words. It's why I generally avoid the evil that is the drabble. Well, actually I write them and delete them before they ever see the light of chat or lj. *shudders*
