Luther Log 004 - Population Control/Nervous Breakdown

[greatestmanll40]

 [Lex now remembers.

Or rather, he forgets. His mind is a mess. Filled with patches. He's now been 'updated' to current. When he gained absolute omnipotence... only to lose it to his own hatred of Superman. 

His deserved hatred! But why... he can't remember... something about a friend. 

Lex walks downstairs in a stupor and finds a starnge package...]

A. Phone

Hello... Mayfield... I am Lex... Luthor? The package that arrived helped remind me. I need to rememebr more. I had all the power.

Everything I could ever dream. And I lost it! To that damn alien! The alien, who was he? Just... anger. Fury forever! I need to do this.

I need my power back. I need it all back.

 

B. Action.

 

[You can find a seemingly dazed and despondent lex laying on a hammock outside, re-reading the letter. He looks like a wreck.]

Sounds like someone had a bit of a rough day.

Riddle me this. What's got the so-called Smartest Man in the World so hot and bothered?

This damned town made me remember... and forget.

by remembering I forgot so much!

I had all the power in the Univers enad lot it to he who embodies my hatred!

Really, now? All the power? Sounds like a bit of a complete hyperbole, Lex. Even coming from you.

No!

I did!

Reality was mine to shape and remold in my image and it all became undone because of that damned alien!
