DARKER THRILLING PROMPTS
sam is used to the kind of acid bath, over-sweetened, superiority that oozes from the pores of every paul, john, & frank who marches their way across the threshold of l-corp’s executive floor. handling that brand of patronizing machismo comes with its own triumphant satisfaction. she’s come to RELISH the challenge, welcome the opportunity to flex financial acumen at the tips of four-inch heels without so much as a drift tagged into her smile.
this, however ...
sam’s spine locks, ramrod straight ; there’s a gear that clicks into place to tip her jaw forward.
metropolis’ reporters don’t take the same rosy tone when it comes to l-corp as they do in national city. lex’s legacy is too violent, too recent, & it’s heaped down with the atlas weight of his villainous baggage.
( sam & the daily planet’s star reporter are not on good terms ).
“ i was hoping that you’d finally take a journalist’s objectivity to heart, ” sam’s response is meted with grit, & the tip of her thumb clicking against her pen is strong enough to crack the plastic. “ you really had some nerve posting that article about our subsidiary holdings without having the decency to run it by me first for accuracy. ”
