oh heart! :'(

:( Awww, awww, , , . . . . Nicely written! To the tea. .

Wow! You have captured this scean from Spock's POV in the second Star Trek movie and acomplished it so expertly. I almost felt while reading it, as if I were again watching the movie itself, as this tragically tender encounter played out, tears rolling down my cheeks as I suffered Spock's death along with others and hearing sniffling from all around me, as Spock breathed his last, in "The Wrath of Khan", my friend kidding me about my reaction, as I retorted, she'd be in the same condition, were it Kirk, her favorite who had died. Congratulations on a beautifully written, single chapter story. And now on to the next.

It's amazing what some self-centered turds will do for kicks, referring to previous review. Ignore them. Contests on who writes the best flames? What a joke!

Anyway, I enjoyed your story. That scene in the film had me in tears, it was so sad. We didn't get to hear what Spock was feeling, like we saw what Kirk felt later on. Simple and concise.

Wow! This is so powerful and moving.

That was just beautiful! My favorite scene in all of Trekdom, and you somehow managed to make it more intense, more emotional, more heart-wrenching. Excellent job!

very nice! You did an awesome job! Please write more - you seem to understand Spock and treat him with the dignity he deserves!

How serendipitous for you that I happened upon your story! You are about to receive one of my more creative flames, written from the copious amount of words which people suggested for my flame-writing challenge. After all, one can only use a copy-paste flame for so long before it becomes trite, right?

Right.

Now, before I crack my knuckles and begin, I certainly hope you don’t suffer from katagelophobia as I’m about to flame this disastrous fiasco you call a story, or from triskaidekaphobia as this sentence will end with the number 13.

I wish I could tell you that you didn’t have superfluous spelling errors or that your loathsome grammar didn’t make me cringe. I wish I could tell you that your plot wasn’t turbid and your characters banal. And I also wish I could work the word antidisestablishmentarianism into this flame….but, alas, I can’t do any of those things.

Now, perhaps there is an excuse for you posting this irredeemable excrement. Maybe you were drunk on a few strawberry daiquiris, or maybe you were even attacked by a bevy of flailing birds when you were younger, thus causing a permanent writing-related affliction. Or perhaps your computer was hijacked by a crank-addicted Sasquatch or a monkey whose loose sphincter and love of broccoli causes an aeruginous effluvium wherever he goes.

Whatever the excuse, it doesn’t make your story inscrutable to honest feedback like this:

I would rather attend a hoedown where inbred midgets caterwaul and perform fouettes while some guy named Jed plays the piano with an unmentionable body part than read any more of this pitiful abomination you call a story. I would rather be forced to participate in the domestication of rabid chupacabras than read one more sentence of your crap. I would even rather have an internship with Microsoft where I have to juxtapose logarithms for no reason and answer questions in pig-Latin about misconfigurations or network error messages all day.

I wish I could have faith that you will have an epiphany from this and produce a copasetic story, or that you’ll become obsequious to the fundamentals of the English language, but I think my left testicle will become a famous daredevil who competes in monster truck races before that happens. In other words: as a writer, you fail.

Best regards,

SO SAD... I WAS ALMOST ABOUT TA CRY...

I am speechless. Utterly speechless. You did an amazing job with this. Bravo.

SO well done, as if you were really in his head taking dictation. Brava!

I remember sitting in the theater crying through this scene (yes, I *am* that old!). Half the audience reached out their hands with Kirk's to make contact. It was an incredible piece of acting on Nimoy's part.

Thanks for giving us Spock's point of view.
