Summary
A view of how Spock might react to Kirk's impending death, and how he would face the reality that there is no hope. McCoy is onto a lead towards a cure for Kirk, but they don't tell him, afraid of building false hope. Kirk attempts suicide so that Spock won't have to kill him - then Spock awakes, realizes what is going on, and rushes to tell Kirk about the potential therapy. Kirk puts his knife away.
Reactions and Reviews
'When the Time Comes' and 'Not Yet Time,' both by Bev Volker,' play off each other on the same theme: how Kirk and Spock react to Kirk's impending death from a disgusting disease (no cure, natch).[1]
