Tethered
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. That was before the “Eclipse”; the single most terrifying and transformative event in our known universe. The mass destruction from earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tidal waves happening all at once. The near extinction of every animal on Earth. The sudden chaos of every human being ripped from the very spot in which they were standing on. The collective screams of over 6 billion men, women and children as they ascended into the heavens never to be seen again. The day the Earth let go.

“Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say,” spoke the man in front of a thick glass window. He spoke calmly into a microphone with his hands behind his back, watching the man inside the tank. “And yet, here you are, screaming as loud as you can as if the frequency of your cries will halt your redemption.”

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.

‘Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Fat load of good that did for these poor souls’ I think to myself. The grandeur of this space station was now lost. For all of its luxuries, it had become nothing more than a mausoleum. Some unknown force had reduced this place to a smoldering husk of its former magnificence. As my co-pilot manoeuvres around a chunk of floating debris the size of a car, he lets out a low, long whistle. And I don’t blame him.

Detour to the Stars
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. They also said no one would go to space, but the day the first man went up was a victory for the human race.

Prelude to Oblivion
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I am here to tell you that I believe you can. Well, some of us can. It’s all a bit complicated, and I am still sorting through the details. The “details”?? Hmmm… maybe the answer is in the details. What are the details, I wondered? And then I realized I can’t remember… ANYTHING. Not only are details fuzzy, but everything is fuzzy.

World Beyond.
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. The bar of the cry is low that the passing breeze gets a tickling sensation and feels the shyness.

Knot's Rules to Live By
“Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say.” The pleasant female voice paused for a moment in consideration. “However, that doesn’t mean the scream never existed.” As the words flowed through my brain, they began to distort into a shriek of agony that shook the essence of who I was like a dog with a live wire. Tastes, sounds, and colors all combined into an eternal screech of agony; one I was unable to return. All I could sense was the unending torment of the scream.

The Swamps
“Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say.” It’s a line travelers use to make themselves feel daring, a ghost story to frighten neighbors already too fearful to venture off their home planets. But for those that dwell in the vacuum itself, adrift in the vastness, the question of who can hear us bears little relevance. We know better than to think that anyone is listening.

Gatekeepers
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But that is because “those who say,” including the owner of that specific observation, were standing in the wrong spot.

The Ode At Sea
“Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say.” “No way, man, you know that’s impossible, right? Not even the gods can do that.”

Space Escape
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say, but it didn’t matter, Mica had watched the last body float from the loading dock. There would be no screams, no sound, they had all died instantly, all at the same time when the creature sucked the air from the tanks that held them in stasis. Mica prayed that they had not awakened, to be unable to breath is a horrible way to die. She tried not to think about how many times it had happened. She looked down and checked her time. She had three more minutes before a guard would come by and she needed to be inside the panel, they could not register her body heat when she was in the chamber and her suit would soon be too warm. She had avoided capture for several months, now she was alone, the others were found and killed.
