The BLTS Archive - Chronicles of Shoreleave: Venice by Aditi (aditi43@hotmail.com) --- Twenty-fourth 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! --- Message encoded for: Spock, Commander, USS Enterprise Location: ShiKahr, Vulcan Received from: Kirk, James T., Captain, USS Enterprise Location: Venice, Italy, Terra Hello t'hyla, I am in Venice as you know. It is different from any city I have ever visited. It is also more confusing than any city I have ever visited. I am usually pretty good at reading maps, but here I am like a lost puppy. Also I think the publishers of the guide I used haven't updated it for a while because it has happened several times already that I come to place where a new street is supposed to start according to the map, but the passage way is walled in. Also, they don't have any accurate info on working hours for museums which has screwed me up several times. Yesterday evening I forgot the map in my room so I don't even know how I found my hotel. By instinct I guess, maybe that's what I should use all the time instead of the map. How is everything with you? Your classes keeping you pretty busy? Just don't forget to find time to enjoy yourself. The world does not center around physics - well maybe in a physical way - but anyways, relax, it's summer. I miss you terribly. I daydream about the sweet little smile you have just for me and your gentle caress. While walking down the street and looking at gorgeous ancient churches, plazas, and canals I can't keep my thoughts from drifting towards your irresistibly shapely thighs and your smooth, muscled chest topped with dark nipples. I imagine placing my head on your chest and listening to the soft beating of your loving heart. Sometimes I feel like I can almost sense your body warm with love and hot with passion in my arms, longing to touch your skin, which is smooth as silk. Ok, I should go to dinner so I can make it to the concert I am going to tonight. Please call me tomorrow evening or around noon your time when I'll be in Germany already. Love you with all my heart, Your Jim --- The End
