The INvaders
They cowered together around their few meager possessions, she and her babies, praying for transport, praying for help, praying for Olek, praying, praying... There was nothing more to do. Tears pushed hard against the inside of her eyelids, stinging and forcing their way out, down her pale cheeks.

The Day Mark Met Death
Mark knew he was dying weeks before the doctor told him, for Mark had seen Death. The first time Mark saw death was deep in the night. He had woken and rushed to the toilet to vomit, and found himself unable to fall back to sleep through the pain. This was normal for Mark, given the advanced state of his illness, so he already had a routine for such events. He brewed himself some Tea, Chamomile and Lavender, which was sometimes the only thing he could keep down, and sat down in front of his large bay windows to gaze upon the tree line of the forest at the edge of his property.

My D.N.A. Genealogy Test Shattered Everything I Thought I Knew About My Life . Top Story - August 2022.
My DNA Genealogy Test REsults Shattered Everything I Thought I Knew About My Life I sat against the red and brown brick wall outside the police station, knees tucked into my chest. My heavy breaths clouded in front of me as the cold winter air bit at my skin, making my fingers numb, but I didn’t care. The cold air provided me with the only sense of peace that I could find right now. Just yesterday, I was just a normal teenage kid living a normal teenage life with normal parents who loved me. Today, everything I thought I knew about my life was shattered.

Sidereal
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. A funny statement because one could argue that nobody could hear anything if someone else wasn’t around. Hey, no one heard my father scream from the bathroom when he gazed at his reflection in the mirror. I only knew about it because he told me when he found me by the tree on the hill behind our house. I knew he’d go crazy when he woke up from his deep slumber. He had just arrived last night after having been gone for years, and now the aftermath was kicking in.

Experiment 86119
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I rather feel like I hear screams too often while looking at the vastness of the stars above me. Inhaling the salty air as I stand just close enough to the ocean for the water to roll over my feet, I ignore the subtle hues of different colored lights coming from me. Almost in a trance, I stand perfectly still as I await something I’m not a hundred percent certain of as a memory rises.

“Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say.” The genetic surgeon stated this matter-of-factly as the third needle entered my spine. My screams continued anyway.

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. It's true. There's nothing for the sound waves to vibrate through, so there's no sound.

The Choices of Enier
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. There are things that many would prefer not to see, hear, or experience. So many things to run away from, hide from and to try to forget about. Sometimes they are unavoidable and come back into your life unexpectedly. Enier knew this all too well.

The Lunari. Runner-Up in New Worlds Challenge.
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. In my personal experience, space is less like a vacuum and more like the deepest parts of the ocean. You can scream, and you can wave your limbs around like a madman, but it would all be futile. In the same way that the bottom of the ocean presents an endless darkness filled with endless mutated lifeforms seeking vengeance on its failed steward, space is an infinite void of oblivion that is, most likely, full of alien life that probably hates humans.

Don't it make you want to scream.
"Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say," "So what are you suggesting? Don't look at me with that pissed off look on your face."
