Reactions and Reviews

Best description of a hurtful tirade ever, "that tar of words". It's just so perfect! Black, sticky, burning tar never washes off. It looks ugly—deep, dark, the anti-light. You think maybe ifs pure black, but it lacks even that integrity, giving an oily, yellow, slime where you touch it. With the fast pace of the words, the tar I picture is fresh and boiling, flaying to the very bone. When I read Spock dealing with 'that tar", I knew this would rip pieces from his soul. Jim can't just "take it back"; this tar has stained their relationship. Maybe they can try to rip those pieces of tar away, but it will leave a slimy yellow film in raw and gaping wounds. Also an interesting form of story: at first, it's a few personal log entries by Kirk & Spock. Then when they're finally face to face, it's all dialogue. That moves the action along very quickly to the (finally) happy ending. So thanks so much for writing & editing & publishing!"
