I just... wow. I'm torn between admiration, envy and plain being intimidated by your writing. The metaphors! The descriptions!

What I love especially is the sense of utter certainty that Lex projects in this. The world makes *sense* to him, always, all Newtonian mechanics and he's completely messed up but in a rigidly ordered way and god, so smart...

And it actually made me feel drunk a couple of times, that's how good it was.
