Twentieth in the Chronicles of Shoreleave

Feedback: Yes please. Archive: ASCEM, others please ask.

Disclaimer: I'm just hoping to provide some people with some enjoyable
reading and am only hoping for some good feedback in return.

(yes, I do think that sometimes Kirk and Spock might sometimes take
leave away from each other for various reasons - as difficult as it
may be! ;-).

The letters will not necessarily be in sequential order according to
stardate - there might be gaps but don't worry about them. I hope you
all enjoy!

Hey Spock, I've been trying to call you, but you are not there. We are
going to take off on our tour around Sicily tomorrow. I wish I could
talk to you for  awhile before I left, but I guess you are not there
right now.

There is a marble statue of the Madonna holding her young son in her
hands  in this room. It is probably not the best work of art ever done
on the  subject, but whenever I look at Christian religious statues
closely they  fill me with awe and fear. Is the Christian God
vengeful?

I so wish I could talk to you right now. You are my soul mate. I would
give my life for your happiness. I love you with all the trust,
passion, and  gentle caring that exists in my heart.

Sicily is a beautiful country. There are ancient Greek ruins and
beautiful  beaches, hot sun and chocolate tanned skin of young people
at the beach.

I loved walking through the fields of wheat today; I really felt I was
in Sicily. One needs both the wheat fields and the Greek ruins to feel
this country.

It is still 16 days until I see you. It will be 15 when I wake up
tomorrow. Maybe that is the reason I feel like going to bed now. It
will get  me closer to being with you again.

Well t'hyla, I'll go. Be happy my love, because I send a sprinkle of
joy to you with this letter; joy I feel because you are my eternal
love.


Your Jim
