This is a little drabble based off a brilliant piece of art work that I saw on devianart. (not my work)
Here is the link:

The story is basically what I see in the artwork.
Kirk stared out the window, deep in thought, drink in hand, watching space go by.
Jim wanted time to think alone about, well, everything.
Jim thought about all the different men and women he encountered, like Gary Mitchell, Miri, even Edith Keeler. Jim thought about when he had to tell Charlie Evans not to slap girls and had to send him away.
Jim remembered when water with complex molecules made the crew inebriated. Sulu with the foil, Riley singing, and even Spock with his emotions.
He pondered about all his fights, one with Finnegan on shore leave, or one with himself on Neural with destiny.
He mulled about his friends on the star ship, how Bones and Spock always bickering about logic and emotions. Jim can hear them, "Logic! Sometimes you can't use logic! Sometimes you need emotions!"
Kirk's mind raced with questions and other thoughts.
Why?
Why do certain people have to die?
Why do people hate others?
Am I really part sinister evil and part compassion?
Lenore...was just protecting her...father in her mind.
Apollo..really wanted humanity to...worship him.
The Companion just wanted...love.
Why?
"Jim?"
"Hmm. Oh, I didn't see you there Bones." "I'll say, you were off in some wonderland," Bones paused and looked at Kirk "You alright?"
"Yeah, I'm just thinking...about everything."
"I understand. Want me to leave?"
"No, why don't we go to the rec room and do something. I think I need a distraction."
"Alright."
Please review!
