Density

ken \KEN\, noun:
1. Perception; understanding; knowledge. 2. The range of vision.
3. View; sight.

He can see for miles on end. Sometimes, he looks up at the stars; through them. Counts Saturn's rings, traces the silvery dust of the Milky Way, follows the storm of gases projected in the Swan Nebulae. He uses his eyes as windows to the galaxy but rarely gazes past his own town.

Except for Lex. Travels within the walls of the mansion, an outline all he needs. Two mouths are fused together. His eyes sting as if exposed to Kryptonite. Tomorrow, he'll wake up, try to forget. Tonight, he'll gaze at the stars, and wish for a different life.
