Background[]

Donna Michelli speaks fondly of "Old Earth", a legendary place she has never seen.
Kirk/Spock relationship : This story is a rare example of a licensed work that alludes to a more-than-platonic relationship between Kirk and Spock, as popularized more often in unofficial "slash fiction". In one scene Spock reveals that his version of paradise is time alone on a primitive planet with Kirk. Kirk chastises Spock for verbalizing this wish in public, as he "...gives away too much." Other licensed stories which hint at this relationship include the poem Soliloquy and the first printing of the TOS novel: Killing Time.
