This is my answer to the Smallville dodecal challenge #16 at svdodecals: "Someone in Smallville changes an old habit. It can be a good habit or a bad one. Just show us what happens!" (144 words)

Relativity

Lex Luthor had always driven fast. Velocity was a high and he found it on the highways, accelerating where Lionel couldn't follow.

Until one day, speeding in Smallville, Kansas (population small and getting smaller) he encountered Clark Kent.

Time stood still there. Changes were small: the corn plant now produced fertilizer, the movie theatre became the Talon, Whitney Fordman was a soldier, and Clark Kent grew up, more slowly than the growing trees, faster than a meteor shower.

Lex learned from Clark. He learned that true speed is faster than the eye can see, slower than a smile. He learned that to win the truly valuable, you have to take things slowly. He learned that thought is quicker than breath, and a kiss is worth a thousand words.

In Smallville, Clark Kent taught him speed of eternity, and the world fit in his hand.
