From Freedom to Slavery

The story of Dr. McCormick's fall from freedom began many years ago, when he served as one of Dr. Leonard McCoy's assistants on the USS Enterprise. He had traveled the galaxy with his colleagues, exploring new worlds and finding cures for rare diseases. But one day, everything changed.
On a routine visit to the Quasar Bar and Grill, Dr. McCormick heard about a planet called Genesis. It was said to hold the secrets of eternal life, and he was determined to find it. He tried to hire a starship to take him there, but all he heard was the same phrase: 'Genesis Planet forbidden!' The alien captain refused to help him.
Desperate to return to the Genesis Planet, Dr. McCormick pleaded with the captain. But his pleas fell on deaf ears. A Federation security guard overheard their conversation and approached them. 'This planet is off-limits, Doctor,' he said sternly. 'Any attempt to visit it will result in severe punishment.'
Dr. McCormick's mind raced with ideas on how to escape the guard's clutches. He tried to use the Vulcan nerve pinch, a technique he had learned from Mr. Spock, but it didn't work. The guard captured him and took him to a Federation prison. From that moment on, Dr. McCormick's life took a turn for the worse.
He tried countless times to escape from the prison, but each attempt was thwarted by the guards. He was confined to a small cell, with no hope of ever leaving. Years passed, and Dr. McCormick grew old and frail. He was forgotten by his colleagues and the Federation. Eventually, he died alone in his cell.
But his punishment did not end there. In the afterlife, he found himself in Hades, shoveling coal alongside the likes of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin. Lucifer himself oversaw their work, ready to punish anyone who dared to rest. Dr. McCormick's days were filled with backbreaking labor, eating stale bread and drinking dirty water. Every time he tried to take a break, Lucifer would poke him with an electrified pitchfork, causing him excruciating pain.
Dr. McCormick realized that he had traded his freedom for the chance at eternal life on the Genesis Planet. But now, he was trapped in a never-ending cycle of slavery and suffering. He had paid the ultimate price for his obsession and greed. His soul would remain in Hades, shoveling coal for all eternity, a warning to others who dared to defy the rules.
