Spider's Treasure
No one can hear you scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. We used to practice screaming into the night sky, my brother and I. The only two boys in our family. Darius and I had a contest to see who's voice could echo out into the cosmos longer.

Diaspora of Light
“Home is the human heart. Our return to God is in no way separate from our return to ourselves, to the point of inward truth out of which our humanity shines forth.” - Arthur Green

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.

Hulljacker
NOBODY can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But, if you ever uttered such platitudes around a Hulljacker, you were liable to end up on the wrong end of a hurtling bottle of cank gin or an overclocked stun charge. That, or the offended party might simply roll up a sleeve, and exhibit to the patrons of whatever half-g pit bar, or vape-filled track where they were laying low, the unmistakable lava-red javelins of breach burn, scoring an angry, welted path up inside a set of suspiciously clean civvies.

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.

Out of the Trees and Into the Stars
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. The young aliens try to scare us with rubbish like that. They seem to resent us, as if it is our fault they are stuck on Earth. They ridicule us for thinking we will explore beyond Earth’s solar system; they say we will never survive out there, that we are too primitive.

The Spore Colonies
Nobody can hear you scream in the vacuum of space, so they say. For me, however, it is hard to ignore the screams. If it wasn’t for the medicine in the plastic container just behind my ear, all I could hear would be countless scream shouting out from all directions. Thomas used to call it hearing the universe’s song. In reality, it is a rare medical condition. My brain can detect the of brain waves of other creatures across vast distances. There are no words just wave after wave of endless shouting. It can change with their mood or excitement but always shouting. It made travailing very difficult.

Dawn Children
"Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say." Wren stopped and looked to see who was talking to her. An old woman sat on the ground leaning against the sandstone wall between two fruit vendors. Her sunburned eyes fixed on Wren in a way that unnerved her.

Through The Thickets of Space and Time

Chapter 1
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. In the absence of light everything seems to glow with a certain eerie luminescence. The shine of a helmet and the tint of leather, it seemed to be the only thing Kaia could see when she looked at her reflection in the glass. She was making her way around to the checkpoints, one by one, slowly, seemingly floating along the path she walked every night. Gravity on Mars has about 38% of the pull that it has on Earth, so Kaia took long strides and glided in the air like an aircraft struggling to take off. She had worked for Links Aeronautics for 10 years, but this was her first month on Mars. She was tasked with a security endeavor, to walk the grounds of the Links space station at night and make sure the equipment was running smoothly at different intervals throughout the day. The mission was top secret, Kaia only knew that Links Aeronautics was involved with researching plant life in the Martian atmosphere. She saw plants of all kinds growing in machines and in large metal cylinders. It was not her job to ask questions, so she didn’t.
