...systematic...
...and it starts so serenely too, you're running, you're not running from anything, you're just running, faster and faster then your feet feel lighter...then gradually they lift from the ground, and you find yourself hovering over the path...it has happened a dozen times or more, but it is always a pleasant surprise...
...until the path beneath your feet drifts further, and further away and it occurs to you that you've no way to get down...you find yourself frantically grasping at tree tops, but they slip through your fingers and you continue your ascent...i doubt there's any stratosphere in dreams, no hostile vacuum of space...you'll simply keep rising forever and never stop...
...one never hears about the tragic aftermath of man of steel's triumph over the three villains of the phantom zone...you see, Superman stepped into the crystal chamber with the best of intentions, to keep himself safe while he exposed ursa, zod and non to the red rays of krypton, robbing them of their powers...forgetting of course that lois and luther where there too...
...lois noticed the effects first a few days later when her hair started to fall out, luthor of course being already bald remained painfully oblivious until that first bloody stool...the tentacles were more of a shock, particularly to miss lane since they had an unfortunate tendency to unhook her brassiere or type nasty suggestions into her typewriter while she was working...
...it wasn't the first time the man of steel had acted with such hubris...he had stopped a nuclear missile bound for Hackensack New Jersey only to race across the continent to stop another bound for the San Andreas fault...arriving only moments too late to stop the destruction that killed lois lane and countless others...so he did what any many of steel would do...he ignored on the geological implications of reversing the rotation of the earth and flew so quickly that time itself began to move backwards...he stopped the missile bound for california just in time to make small talk with lois...
...then it occurred to him that reversing time to stop one missile, meant that the other one was once again hurtling towards Hackensack...luckily no one noticed that a large section of new jersey had been reduced to a smouldering radioactive wasteland...
