Reactions and Reviews
Story contest - illo of Kirk holding Spock protectively while McCoy huddles nearby clutching a book and a skeletal figure looks on. Chilling alternate ending to “City on the Edge of Forever.” The crew left behind go through the Guardian and change something; when Kirk, Spock and McCoy return to the future after sacrificing Edith, there is no Starfleet, no rescue, and they are marooned to die on a barren planet. Told from Kirk’s rather delirious pov. Kinda overdramatic, but points for the idea. [2]
