Excerpt

"Spock, if we can't share with each other those things that trouble us most, where does that leave us? We keep circling each other like we were in some ritual dance that's never complete. Confiding our problems and our fears - as well as the good times - is what it takes to make us whole." Kirk leaned forward, his voice dropping until it was almost a whisper. "Eventually, we're going to get tired of dancing and I don't want to see that happen." He paused, touching the Vulcan's arm. "Pon farr isn't still troubling you, is it?"

Reactions and Reviews

'A Room Without Windows' by Addison Reed is one of my favorite stories in the zine. Addison addresses the subject of Spock‘s parents. The story takes place in and around the episode 'Journey to Babel' and offers some insight into Spock‘s estrangement from his father in particular. This is dealt with in a deep, delicate manner, also offering further particulars about the bond between Kirk and Spock. It is also one of the longer stories in the zine and, for me, held great satisfaction.[1]
