Desperate Dream

Dr. McCormick had always dreamed of returning to the Genesis Planet. It was a place of wonder and beauty, a place where he had spent some of the happiest moments of his life. But that dream seemed impossible now. Being banned from the Federation meant that he could never go back.
He had tried to find a way, going to the Quasar Bar and Grill to see if any alien captains would take him there. But they all shook their heads and uttered the same words, 'Genesis Planet forbidden.' Dr. McCormick pleaded with them, explaining that he had once served on the USS Enterprise and that he just wanted to go back and see the planet again. But they all remained firm, unwilling to risk the wrath of the Federation.
Feeling defeated and desperate, Dr. McCormick was about to give up when a Federation security guard approached him. 'You can't go back to the Genesis Planet,' the guard stated firmly. 'It's off-limits and anyone who tries to visit it will face severe punishment.'
But Dr. McCormick was desperate. He couldn't let his dream die just like that. So he tried to use the Vulcan nerve pinch on the guard, hoping to escape and return to the Genesis Planet. But to his dismay, the maneuver was unsuccessful and he was quickly overpowered and arrested.
He was taken to Federation prison, where he would spend the rest of his life. Dr. McCormick tried to escape on numerous occasions, but he always failed. And with each failed attempt, his spirit and hope dwindled. He was just another forgotten prisoner, just another number.
As the years went by, Dr. McCormick's health declined. The once vibrant and ambitious scientist was now a frail and broken man. And when he eventually passed away, he was buried in an unmarked grave, just another punishment for his 'crime.'
But that was not the end for Dr. McCormick. As his soul descended to Hades, he found himself in a place that resembled the fiery depths of hell. And there, he was met with the most unimaginable punishment.
He was shoveling coal under the watchful eye of Lucifer, along with infamous figures like Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin. The pain and agony were unbearable, but Dr. McCormick had no choice but to continue. And whenever he tried to take a break, Lucifer would poke him with an electrified pitchfork, causing him to scream in agony before getting back to work.
Dr. McCormick's desperate dream had led him to this fate, a never-ending cycle of punishment and suffering. And as he toiled away in that fiery pit, he knew that he would never be able to return to the Genesis Planet, no matter how much he longed for it.
