A black cover with the title, "Striking Distance" written across the top and right edges of the cover in gray letters in a reverse L shape. The cover depicts a close-up of a person, drawn exclusively in gray outlines, cropped so that you can only see from the nose down to the bottom of the collar of their shirt, and the outline of their shoulder stretching to the edge of the page. "No. 1", shorthand for Number 1, is written in the bottom left hand corner.

Short story zine centered around life events and death, based on real life events, featuring a poem by Forough Farrokhzad on the inside of the front cover to set the tone. It also touches on memories of old Toronto, the medical system, and various bands the author was previously in.
