“Hurry, we need to evacuate the alien zoo.”
“Whaaat?” Lex froze at the entrance, confusion plastered all over his face.
“Ok, so I have a little alien zoo here. No biggie.”
“Clark, since when do you say “No biggie”?
“Come on, Lex. You are channeling Lois. I collected few creatures here and there…They are worth a fortune on the black market.” Clark smiled sheepishly.
“Who’s the buyer?”
“Maxwell Lord.”
“Remind me why they call you Superman?” Lex rolled his eyes, trying to calm down a shrieking antler-pig in his arms, mumbling: “This is my favorite suit.”
“Lex, say cheese!”
“Don’t you dare!”

Decayed Fortress came first to mind. I started with this epic Superman rant about dying Earth, then switched to Superman/Lex Luthor showdown and ended up with this. It’s scary, to be in my head. 🙂

That’s exactly what I wrote about. Inside a writer’s mind.

This is a fun trip through new territory, Lore. I enjoyed the notion that Superman might have a collection of alien pets.
All my best,

This was fun. I wonder if Superman is going to post the photo of Lex and the antlered pig on his Facebook page?
