I'll Be Right Back
“Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. That was until Hubert Kollymore, my beloved father and founder of Kolly Cooperation, created Kore. He worked tirelessly, while also caring for his family, to create the spacetastic world we live in! With Kore, you can visit your Grandmother on Mars within two hours; or take a family trip to the Mood Theme Park within thirty minutes. Kore is powerful, sustainable, and doesn’t damage the environment or our way of living. With Kore…”

One Rotten Tomato
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. That’s what Urgma said before he closed the airlock on the immense tomato greenhouse orbiting high above Stepla II and pulled out some ancient Craftsmen channel lock pliers that probably still carried the lifetime warranty. He had found them on a hunting trip for ancient torture devices on Old Earth and these had quickly become his favorites – he could fix his spaceship and torture spies with the same tool.

Family Correspondence
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I hear them regularly. Look, if we're splitting hairs (or popping heads), it is only vaguely distinct from the popping of a head. Sometimes people fall into the refuse shoot. It takes sharper wits than the victim of such poor judgement (There are huge signs 'DO NOT LEAN INTO GARBAGE SHOOT') to get out before, what is useless, gets expelled. One time three kids fell in. Not the easiest day on watch.

Inmates of the Abyss
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. In fact, that was the last thing Commander Asghar said as he sealed the containment door of our Correctional Detainment Pod. His near black eyes never wavered as they held mine and he radioed Control to send the pod soaring into the Trianthula Abyss, well beyond the last known inhabited galaxy in relation to our planet. It’s where the vilest criminals in the Urho Planetary System were sent. And I had just secured a one-way ticket for my team and me.

VACATION IN SPACE
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Joe and Amanda were excited to board the space craft so that they could start their trip. Sure, people have travelled to space before. People have walked on the moon before. But that was for scientific purposes. Joe and Amanda were going to space to go on vacation. Yes, vacation. “I think we’re probably the first people to make this trip as a vacation,” Amanda said to Joe as they were packing their suitcases full of clothes. She was also trying to think of what else they would need. “What do you think it’s going to be like when we get there?” she asked Joe. “I really don’t know,” Joe replied. Neither one of them really knew what to expect.

Trivium
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Discuss. Shelly turned over her exam paper and stared at the statement printed in Arial font, size 12, at the top. Fifteen simple words, nineteen syllables, fifty-nine letters, and symbols brought together in an attempt to do her over.

The Great Silence
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. An entirely false saying, by the way. I’m somebody, and my screams filled the helmet of my suit. They still echo in my mind. What would you do if you found yourself floating alone between Jupiter and Mars? You would do exactly what I did, crap your pants and then scream your throat hoarse.
