Dr. McCormick's Story

Dr. McCormick had always been fascinated with the Genesis Planet. He had heard tales of its wondrous abilities to create new life, and he longed to go back and do more research on it. But ever since he was arrested and imprisoned for illegally trying to visit the planet, his dream seemed more and more distant.
As he sat in his prison cell, with the memories of his failed attempt still fresh in his mind, he couldn't help but wonder what could have been. What discoveries could he have made if he had succeeded? But it was all in the past now, and he had to face the harsh reality of his actions.
As the years went by, Dr. McCormick became known as a notorious prisoner. His attempts to escape and constant trouble-making made him a target for the guards, who enjoyed punishing him. But his determination to return to the Genesis Planet never faded.
One day, he heard whispers of a new starship that had arrived at the prison. A small crew of aliens had docked and were offering their services to prisoners who wanted to visit different planets. This was Dr. McCormick's chance.
He approached the alien captain, pleading with him to take him to the Genesis Planet. But the captain's words crushed his hopes once again. 'Genesis Planet forbidden!' he said sternly.
Dr. McCormick refused to give up. He begged and pleaded, but the captain remained firm in his decision. It was then that a Federation security guard appeared and informed him that the Genesis Planet was off-limits and that any attempt to visit it would result in severe punishment.
Dr. McCormick's desperation reached a peak and he resorted to drastic measures. He tried to use the Vulcan nerve pinch on the guard in order to make his escape. But the guard was quick to react and called for backup. Dr. McCormick was no match for the combined forces of the guards and the aliens.
He was arrested and taken to a special section in the prison, reserved for those who attempted to break the rules. It was a dark, isolated place where the prisoners were left to rot for the rest of their lives. And that's exactly what happened to Dr. McCormick.
He tried many times to escape, but he always failed. The guards, knowing his determination, made sure he was constantly monitored and never given a chance to succeed. And so, he spent the rest of his life in that lonely, cold cell, dreaming of what could have been.
When he finally passed away, the prison officials didn't even bother to inform his family. He was buried in an unmarked grave, a final punishment for his crimes.
His soul descended to Hades, where he was met by Lucifer himself. He was given his punishment - shoveling coal with the likes of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin. They were all cursed to eat black bread and drink black water, and never allowed a break from work. If they dared to rest, Lucifer would poke them with his electrified pitchfork.
And so, for eternity, Dr. McCormick shovels coal and reflects on the consequences of his actions. His dream of returning to the Genesis Planet was now a distant memory, and he was paying for it with a torment worse than death. It was a lesson that he would never forget, a painful reminder of the consequences of breaking the rules.
