Space Jumper
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But they also say you can’t breathe in space, yet here she is breathing just fine. So if she screamed right now, while being chased through galaxies, would anybody hear her? More importantly, who would hear her? She did know one person who she met quite frequently when exploring different galaxies, but that was always by chance. Who knows where he is now. He could be asleep on his home planet earth for all she knew. It's not like they had space phones to call each other, though that would be cool and she should definitely look into that. But even if he showed up, what could he do? She would be in the same position, just another person to look after, she didn't need that right now. She only needed herself, she was better on her own anyways.

Locked in The Algorithms
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. No one can hear me locked inside this virtual reality prison either. Im stuck in this loop of repeat and it continues on and on...If you ever thought that earth was a prison, just try out the virtual. No escape, no sleep, no life. In my opinion, this is the kind of stuff Lovecraft would have made into a best selling novel. I never was a big fan of cosmic horror, too much real world stuff is enough to scare the crap out of you. Now that I've experienced the virtual, i know the abyss. First, I must tell you, that I am not a criminal. I don't deserve to be in this fake hell stored away in some super computer. This place inside a world, within a world, it is absolutely a nightmare that I can't wake up from. I dread the fact that I can't sleep in this reality. I miss my dreams. At least I would have some form of escape, but not here. This place, this reality of the algorithms prison, you cannot dream.

Luminous
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Not because sounds don’t travel through the void. Rather, the void kills you quicker than sound can travel through it. You lose consciousness within the first fifteen seconds or so, vision turning black. Even if you could hold on to your awareness longer it would be useless. The frigid environment of space causes your body to seize as it freezes solid. You cannot fight the void, cannot bargain, cannot bribe. The void takes all, status and wealth mean nothing to her. She does not care. All are equal in her grasp.

The Ascended - Chapter 1
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Whoever said this was not Ascended, for with only a little focus, Sentry could hear every voice in every potential timeline the universe could offer up. Fortunately, there were relatively few of these timelines with living beings who could scream in this place of desolation — the end of the universe.

Judas Burns Bright
No one can hear you scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. One must have discerning ears, indeed, to hear such a tiny screech among that black sea of wailing gods. Thrown from their heavenly spheres, they brighten the cosmos. Spacers know such a truth. But there are scores of people throughout every galaxy that view these gods as nothing but twinkling lights - or “stars” as the Milkywayers call them.

The New World of Abundance
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. What does that even mean? If I were in space with someone else, I wouldn’t be able to hear them scream and vice versa? Could I hear the sound of my own scream? Could I maybe stop having this conversation right now, and get the h*ll out of my head? Space is clearly NOT where I am.

The Seed
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. In my dreams his lips form a silent plea again and again until his mouth finally stills. Other times he is quiet, eyes glassy as he watches our ship disappear, a flash of silver gone before his last breath.

The Wreckages
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. What they say is wrong though, they just didn't know what happened to all the people who DO know. Or that there were even people who HAD witnessed all the screams in space, or why we were all there in the first place. I do though, atleast I think I do.

Excursion
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But I wasn’t in the vacuum of space. I was stuck in a glorified soda can hurtling towards the moon at 26.85 thousand miles per hour, less than two feet from a guy who I swear to god did not stop screaming from the moment we left the landing pad. Honestly I’d probably have been impressed by his lung capacity if I hadn’t been devoting one hundred percent of my concentration to trying to pass out so that I could experience the only form of escape available to me at that moment.
