Focal Point: A Tale Within Time In the heart of the Great Depression, young Gene Roddenberry, a curious and imaginative ten-year-old, stumbles upon a mysterious stranger in a peculiar blue uniform, sparking an adventure that will shape his destiny. As Gene follows the enigmatic Dr. McCoy to the 21st Street Mission in New York City, he encounters Edith Keeler, a compassionate woman running the mission, and uncovers a world of secrets and stories that defy time itself. Inspired by the Star Trek episode "City on the Edge of Forever," this poignant short story weaves a tale of hope, curiosity, and the seeds of a visionary future, as a boy’s chance meeting with a time-displaced doctor ignites dreams of exploring strange new worlds. Dive into this heartfelt narrative to discover how a fleeting encounter in a gritty 1930s alleyway lays the foundation for a sci-fi legacy.
Prologue-
The assassins were close— of that, he was sure. How long has it been, he wondered? Days…Weeks. He couldn’t remember. All he knew was that he was tired of running, and very hungry. If McCoy didn’t find refuge soon, he’d be a goner for sure.

Hi Lizzie. Wow. What a complement... I think the story would make a great comic, but to what end? Star Trek is owned by CBS/Paramount. They allow fan fiction as long as you don't make any money or charge for your work. So It wouldn't make sense to work on a comic you can't sell. But thanks anyway- All my best, AD
