Salvage
No one can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Thean shrugs at the thought. Unlike the grounders, she’s spent her whole life in space. If there’s something to scream about, she won’t be wasting energy wondering if anyone can hear her.

Death Warrant. Runner-Up in New Worlds Challenge.
No one can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. This poor woman’s gaping mouth, bulging eyes and visible terror told me she tried, at least. I double-checked the mag lock on my borrowed boots as I shuffled sideways to get a better look at her body, still twenty feet away. A tiny trail of blood had trickled from her lips, forming a delicate line that led deeper into the cargo bay, evidence that scream didn’t empty her lungs fast enough to prevent the vacuum of space from explosive decompression, shredding the internal tissue. Ebullition had vaporized the water in her body, pushing it to the surface of her skin, distorting her face into a bloated mask.

Every Inch a Hero
No one can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. The science behind it was certainly sound enough. She’d calculated probabilities only an hour ago, running the stats in her head pre-launch, various scenarios (helmet com active, accidental spacing, true vacuum) accounted for. Not that she planned to do any screaming, today or any other EV day, but the physics comforted her like nothing else.

No Safe Space
No one can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I beg to differ. My own scream? Louder than anything I’d ever heard and took so much effort to stop I was panting when I finished.

Imposter- (An Amoungus inspired novel)
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Yet the sound still rings in my ears. Perhaps it doesn't truly count as the vacuum of space, I mean the scream came from inside the ship. That doesn't make it any less blood curdling. I stare down at her lifeless body. I try to picture her laughing, but all I can see is the face she must of made as the knife plunged into her back.

Asteroid Field
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But they clearly haven't been on the Shanty Armour, flying through an asteroid field, with Lawrence Firestone as captain. Because that sure as hells feels like someone outside the ship would hear.

Major Tom to Ground Control
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Major Tom Norris knew that was not quite true. Much depended on who was listening and what they were seeking to hear.
