I Go to Touch the Stars

A story about finding your way, figuring out where you belong, and then facing your parents with your choice.

This is a Star Trek fanfic piece, originally written by me back in the mid 1980s, for a Star Trek fanzine put out by a penpal I had connected with back then. To all you younger ones, that was a snail mail fanzine.

Well, over the years, I lost track of all of this. But recently, I decided, on a whim, to try and find my penpal and check if she still had copies of my work. Low and behold, I did find her, and she did have copies.

So, I decided to put it here on wattpad for you all to enjoy. This story is based on the Spock character from the Star Trek series. The inspiration for a lot of this story comes from the Star Trek classic series episode - Journey to Babel - where we meet Spock's father and mother for the first time, and gain a lot of insight into Spock himself.
