This drabble is dedicated to Leonard Nimoy, who passed away today, Nov. 27th, 2015. You will never be forgotten.


Kirk stared at Spock, who was leaning against the glass, unable to stand any longer. No, this could not be happening! His first officer and best friend was not dying. He shook his head in denial. Spock looked at him with an effort.

"I have been, and always shall be...your friend." he gasped.

Kirk tried to reply, but couldn't.

"Live long...and proper." Spock managed to say, then slumped down against the glass and did not move again.

Kirk stared for a moment, knowing he was truly dead, then buried his head in his hands and wept, uncaring that many of his crew where watching. His life had been broken, and would never be the same again.
