Title: Superman, Clark Kent and Me
Pairing/Rating/Warning: none, rated G
Word Count: 100
Summary: Saving the world isn't all it's cracked up to be
Author's Note: Written for the Moving Words and Pictures Flashfic Challenge using fandom_me's video "Far Too Long."

I’m not Superman.  They expect me to save the day, but leave before I’m done.  They die.  I die.  Time and everything else gets in the way.  I’m forced to leave, or they are, and then I’m alone. 

Some days I wish I was Clark Kent.  He never saved the world or got the girl, or the guy, but he was reliable and dependable in his own way.  And he could just live.  Live one day at a time without worrying about the next battle looming on the horizon.

Clark Kent was Superman, but I just want to be me.

Okay I know this is probably going to sound silly/odd/picky but I haven't necessarily been hitting the links before reading so I really could have really done with knowing it was before I went into it...

That said it is outstanding comparison to draw tells us an awful lot about Jack *g*

I don't think I've eaten enough donuts to understand the question... :S
