Adventure
The Fall
If you have arrived here please start at Chapter 1 The Fall - Chapter 6 Pōuriuri/Into The Night Aaron wakes suddenly to a noise. He sits up quietly, listening. There is someone at the iron gate of the cell. He hears the bolt being loosened. He waits in the darkness. No one enters. Quietly he approaches the gate. It is slightly ajar. He listens. Is this a trap? After a moment he opens the gate and sneaks into the corridor. There is no one there either. Trap or not, Aaron is going take his chances. He slides along the wall at speed, feeling his way to the stairs. He stops and listens. Then moves up the stairs with stealth and precision. Ducking past the the windows he gets to the door, opens it. People are mingling, drinking, keeping warm by fires. He looks up to the sky. It is a full moon and there is no way he could sneak past the people. So he pulls his hood over his head, takes a breath then walks calmly across the courtyard. People don’t take any notice of him. Or so he thinks.

Galaxy's Edge
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. The cold, unyielding, emaciated hand of space grabbed at the occupants within the control room, pulling them out with force immeasurable. Faces twisted into shouts of pain and shock, and Zed witnessed all of it. Not a sound could be heard, but there had never been a more disquiet silence.

Void Travelers
Chapter 1: Screams “Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say.” These ominous words were uttered to me by my team leader right before we were about to launch into space on our farthest mission ever. I chalked it up to Gordan trying to say something profound before we were about to make history, but missing his mark and saying something not quite unusual, but not uplifting either. I can't remember exactly what I said, but it was along the lines of some witty response that you would hear in one of those sitcoms popular well over 60 years ago.

Lost
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Everyday I fight with myself about wanting to find out. The allure of launching myself into the cosmos, to return to the stardust that my cells originated from 14 billion years ago, is a feeling I struggle with often. Being lost in space will do that to you. Looking out through the viewport of my starfighter, I imagine what it would be like to float away into nothingness. The view would be incredible and the weightlessness of floating relaxing. Eventually, the oxygen in my X390 pilot suit would run out.

Worlds Away
"Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say." The words kept repeating in my head as I slowly floated away. When Genotech introduced the Armen safety pods, no one ever expected them to be necessary so soon. Off-world travel was still new to us, we had barely scratched the surface. Regardless, here I was drifting farther from my family.

“Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space... or so they say,” the hologram echoed. The hue of the digi-board’s synthetic lights electrified the miner’s byway, silhouetting the rush-hour crowd. McParlane turned away from the advertisement and limped down the tunnel street.
