Salience
Chapter 2: Family After Three years have passed since the incident, Acher woke from his dreams and found himself in the hallway alone. He crouched low, quickly tiptoeing past his sister's door. He shuffled his feet in place as her doorknob turned slowly. The grin on his face grew wider and his eyes had a devilish look of glee. When she stepped into the hallway he yelled at her, “Lighting rod transference attack!” He grabbed her arm with a cheetah-like speed sending an electric shock into her body. A loud pop echoes off the wall with a quick yell in harmony. Astrid stares blankly at her big brother.

Not Alone
Felix slowly entered the building he no longer recognized as the launch station. As he walked by the front desk secretary who waved politely to him, he brushed his fingers along the desks and tables as if for the first time. What was once a sanctuary for his curiosity now brought despair and pain to his heart. He reached into his pocket pulled out a silver pin the size of a nickel and placed it on the front display table where the transparent statue of a man stood holding its hand toward the stars. Computer screens flickered joyfully as they transitioned between different live feeds of space and Felix almost felt as if the stars cried with him. A tickle hit the back of his neck sending a shiver down his spine as he robotically turned around. He was at a standstill, frozen in disbelief at the moment, unable to understand who or what was standing before him. He watched him die; he had died in his arms about a month ago and yet here he stood, staring into his storm-colored eyes. Felix stumbled back tripping over his feet without breaking his gaze.

Synergenes
“Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say.” Professor Thompson told the classroom of students, “As you all know, since the vacuum of space has no type of air, and sound is just vibrations traveling through the air, communications, much less anything as dramatic as screams, are impossible without the technology we have today. We need infrared lasers, which surpass the outdated radio waves we used to use back in the twenty-first century. Even with this technology, we have had very little communication with aliens and no real means of exchanging any type of information. Hopefully, the new research being done at Synergene Labs will assist us in soon meeting other lifeforms from outer space around us. And, hopefully, there is no screaming in the process.”
