I honestly don't know what I'd do. On the one hand, I'm a softy, (I sobbed when I feed a baby rat to a snake), but on the other, one doesn't know how travel and danger will change one. If I had killed Gollum, I think I might just have tried to run poor Frodo off the edge of the cliff and into the crack, carrying myself over with him, (if I were as devoted as Sam, anyways).
I read this most horribly sad fic written as a "What if..." where Frodo managed to get the Ring from Gollum as he (Gollum) fell into the fire. It was horrible! He ran Sam through with his sword and became the Dark Lord for all of...a day. Then Sauron got him. It was very sad.
