I like how you wrote that last line, changing the words from the rhyme we know. This was really nicely written. I know Kirk would be feeling guilty about it. There is no way he could have done that and not felt bad. Thank you for sharing this piece. I really liked it!

Very nice. I love the way you got into Kirk's head here. He may be a little big headed sometimes, but I know that James wouldn't really want to hurt Spock. He did try to tell the older Spock that he would have prefered that he, (Spock Prime) said it instead after all. Great story and I hope to read more from you soon.

Wow. I don't know what to say. This is a wonderful snapshot of Jim's thought. You've actually succeeded in making me feel sorry for Jim as well as Spock. Beautiful.

"Under normal circumstances, this was something even he wouldn't stoop too, but these weren't normal circumstances, were they?" :(

"He wasn't above fighting dirty, but there were some things that were below the belt, even for him, and what he was about to do was one of them." - I love these type of lines, because we know what happens this says a lot in so few words and conveys a lot of meaning.

The last line was perfect.
Thanks for sharing.

I rather love that last line. Words can be very hurtful or helpful things really. ^^
