230-V2
Nobody can hear you scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Between the two toddlers, and the travel kennel holding some contemptible furry thing that may or may not even have feet, Kain determined that was a lie. Packed into a week long labor class transport from Earth to Mars, the symphony of shrill, ear piercing sounds the trio next to him emitted were not lost on anyone in the cabin. Everyone in space could hear them scream.

Ad Astra Per Aspera
"Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say..." quipped Smythe. Smythe was a gangly, pimple-faced early-twenty-something midshipman, who by appearance alone stood out on a bridge full of former professional operators. His father was a board-member of the original charter, and therefore, the kid had found his way onto Chung's crew.

The Flower of Change
“Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say… The bird has one eternal breath from which to sing. No pause… one breath… Twenty and six the length and width and each a home… a home to—to” the old woman spluttered a cough and fell again to the lilt of her mumbling. He could not wholly make out the words and he had long since let them pass unheeded. They were only the exhalations of a weak wind, mere whispers. Gone was the strength of her body. When she took a breath, it whistled faintly and he could not see her breast rise with it, it was so shallow.

Voyage Beyond Oblivion
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But I do. No matter where I go, no matter how hard I try to close it out, still I hear the universe itself screaming in agony. The death cry of eternity. That is the terrible truth of this reality that so few of its inhabitants are burdened with knowing. The vacuum of space, that endless abyss, is itself screaming. The universe is alive. And the universe is dying.

New World Challenge
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. As I have been flying through the vacuum of space for countless hours now, I see a space shuttle flying through space as well, making myself automatically scream in desperation as I am flying through space myself. The space shuttle gets closer and closer, looking to pick me up, making me relieved but more confused on how this could happen.

Space Corps 101
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But did you know you can hear the scream of the vacuum of space? It all started on my 18th birthday. I did not know it at the time, but I was being followed. Why me you may ask. To this day I do not have a good answer to that question. The best I have come up with is the randomness of chance.
