Reactions and Reviews
Someone—Shelley? Someone said last issue Karla was known for her short stories. No wonder! She says so much in so few pages.Like this otherworld scenario where both Kirk and Spock are prisoners of slavers. Kirk exhibits his usual charm and a fierce determination to be free. Spock is resigned to his fate. Until that fate makes them friends, and their friendship makes them more.
So well told you’d have fallen in love with Kirk if you’d never heard of him before. And Spock’s feelings for him are legend. Like his thoughts while confined to the punishment box, “he thought of Jim. He lived on remembered smiles, recalled touches. ...his mind repeated their conversations...”. Sorta like I do when I’m away from K/S. [1]
Vulcan prisoner Spock was resigned to his fate, but the shining and relentless Jim Kirk made him hope again despite his will. Kelly excels at captivating, very short stories that pack a powerful punch and this is one of my favorites. [2]
