Sci Fi

Against the Pedestrian (Short Story)
Everything was going according to plan. The metallic and smooth black vehicle cruised along the vacant streets like a ship along icy canals. It maneuvered around the shattered cement and gaping potholes, turning on a dime around corners. And then Leonard Mead saw it: the Psychiatric Center for “Research” on Regressive Tendencies, rising like a mountain in the midst of a flat jungle land.

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.

Ten Beeps
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Funny to think that George had taken part in this argument just under 16 hours ago. If he had known then what now knew he would have bite his tongue and let Lee have the win. He could now, without any doubt, confirm that no one, not a single organism can here you scream in the vacuum of space. George had put it to the test, had ripped his throat raw screaming. He suppose it didn’t matter as he wouldn’t need it anymore. When your grasping for life you can stand to lose an ability or two, better to be a mute then a corpse with a perfectly intact voice box. So he had screamed, kicked and thrashed burning through oxygen at an alarming rate before finally bringing himself under control and succumbing to his drifting.

The Green Inferno
Ch.1 Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. As wails continue to be heard throughout the abyss of the galaxy as an unspeakable horror continues to escalate on the desolate planet of Amazonite. A remote planet known for its lush green but treacherous environment which was how the planet got its name. It is still a new planet discovered by earth and it has only been 10% explored due to the thick dense swampy jungles that pretty much take up the whole planet. The first set of explorers described there being possibility of large amounts of life however there are still some species that have yet to make their presence known. As well as the exotic plant life which has shown a lot of promise to possibly restoring a whole ecosystem to another planet. The reason why the plant life is so unique because the explorers discovered that the same trees and flora have been alive for over a billion years. There have been no signs of new plant evolving overtime its as if the same species is able to live on without the effects of harsh disease or large environmental changes. This is what has captivated a team of researchers that are off on a mission to Amazonite to look for a particular root plant that one of the last explorers Dr. Harry Livingston described in a journal that he wrote 50 years ago could be the key to helping restore all the plant life to another planet. Earth has taken a turn for the worse a lot of the planet green ecosystem is dying due to climate change and a lot plant disease have developed that is killing thousands of trees by the day. However, Livingston described when he came across with what he called “the Lazarus Root” was able to help heal and restore life to another plant species that was dying. It is also a tree itself and it carries a lot of spores when it blooms and blossoms can spread to other plants. When the last team explored all those years ago they were only there for a few days which seemed pretty odd it was as if they were in a big hurry to go or something had chased them off the planet.

Cuckoo
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But, unbeknownst to the public, Regarding Space (who dealt with everything extraterrestrial) had been tracking what seemed to be a scream coming from Dead End for nearly thirty-nine years. A group of galaxies considered to be the most barren part of the universe, scientists speculated the area to be the largest expanse of uninhabited space to exist. That was until thirty-nine years prior when at 3:33 am United Universal Time, a small lab named Dome621 discovered a small frequency coming from the center of Dead End. The sound lasted for a single minute, but after further study was discovered to repeat every day at the exact same time. For thirty-nine years, Dome621 listened and recorded the frequency at 3:33, never making any progress as to its propagator.

Attractor
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. It’s a notion found within many cultures possessing the necessary scientific awareness to comprehend it as a concept, albeit with inconsistent wording and to differing degrees of notoriety. It should seem an inherent certainty based on what can be readily perceived of the universe, barring one key discovery. The truth must be spread, the prior attempts at which will be examined in this broadcast, so that the next one much closer to home may be pursued.
