CLARK: A 100-WORD STORY

Ma and Pa Kent knew “Clark” was special from the moment they saw him.

That the infant had crawled from the wreckage of what appeared to be a spaceship was Clue One.

Clue Two was when he lifted their pickup truck over his head, one-handed. He flipped it casually into the air and giggled when it landed, crushing a cow.

But the kid was cute, and he obviously needed someone to take care of him. The Kents bundled him up and took him home.

Pa Kent died two weeks later with mysterious burns covering his body.

Damn those X-ray eyes…
