    Summary

    Laura Gilpin's The Two-Headed Calf:
    Tomorrow when the farm boys find this
    freak of nature, they will wrap his body
    in newspaper and carry him to the museum.
    But tonight he is alive and in the north
    field with his mother. It is a perfect
    summer evening: the moon rising over
    the orchard, the wind in the grass. And
    as he stares into the sky, there are
    twice as many stars as usual.

    Or, Clark’s first sleepover hits a small snag in the form of a mutated calf.

    Summary

    Assumptions are a safety blanket that he hasn’t really considered before, but now he realises just how much he takes them for granted. He doesn’t know what he’d do in either situation, really.

    He knows, logically, what course of action he should follow—damage control, checking in with people he’s close to, going about his life in the closest he can get to normal—but he doesn’t know how he’d feel. Can barely imagine what it would be like to have control wrested from him like that.

    [OR: While on patrol, Clark encounters a Metropolitan whose struggles hit rather close to home.]

    Summary

    Something is different from before. It prickles at his skin, nauseates him. He hates the camera flashes and the scrutiny and the suit collars and the exhaustion. He hates shaving but he can’t stand to go unshaven. He hates his hair but he can’t stand to cut it. He wants to smear darkness into his eyes and change his clothes and be invisible again: to everyone else, to himself.

    Sometimes he thinks he might hate Selina - he doesn’t; he doesn’t - but sometimes he thinks he might, because he looks at her and it opens a hole in his chest.
