Been wanting to write a drabble for awhile but every attempt turned out too long. This one finally a hundred words exactly. Might require a tissue waring...death fic...could be considered a future fic but the plot bunny was inspired by the 'what if' Kirk hadn't survived

Title: Failure
author: Cindy Ryan
category: drabble, deathfic

Failure was a bitter pill. Never mind the fact that the patient was dead before life saving measures could be tried. Damn hero complex. Leonard McCoy stood before a grave of a friend. It wasn't the first but it was the hardest. Bones could almost hear Jim reasoning it out' No options, no time, no choice.'

Bones crouched by the fresh grave. "How are we supposed to save the universe without you?"

Captain, friend, hero.
One that would be greatly missed. Bones stood. Failure was a bitter pill and one he would have to live with; some how.
