Sci Fi
Somewhere Beyond the Stars
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Honestly, I'm counting on it. The people on this ship are on their way to new lives. They've sold all their earthly possessions to afford a ticket, and they're full of promise at what is what waiting for them off of our world. The naïve electricity in the air is unmissable. Ever since Cruizes announced the first one-way trips a few years ago, I'd reveled in the absurdity of how ready people were to abandon everything they had known; ready to abandon the very soil that once fed them, the foundation of their homes--as if Earth had been the problem all along.

Worlds Collide
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space or so they say. But what use is a scream when you're unconscious within seconds from lack of oxygen? The human mind is programmed to bypass that logic, to think that if you ever found yourself in a situation where your life was in danger, a scream would save you. But nothing could be further from the truth and a scream would cause your demise rather than your salvation.

Earth: the planet past the END
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say and they are absolutely correct because that space ship is not making any noise at all. It's only flying past a farming planet at the slowest, joltiest pace possible.

A Train Ticket to the Fourth Dimension . Top Story - August 2022.
Her forehead was cold, pressed against something hard. She could hear voices around her, unfamiliar voices. Opening her eyes, she quickly shut them again. There was so much light coming in from all directions. She opened her eyes again, this time a little slower. Her face was pushed up to a glass window, which was fogging up with her breath. Her head began to pound as she sat up. Dizzy, she reached out and put one hand on the pane.

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow Are All We Have Or Is It?
Chapter One Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I am guessing there is sound in space, and as humans, we can't hear it, in the same way, that Karma and other beliefs aren't the same for everyone, and not all believe this either!

Falling stars don't grant wishes anymore.
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But space is only held up by 62 miles of sky. And when those screams scrape their way down the clouds and embed themselves into the echoing soil - it’s pretty hard to tune out. I even had to put my hands over my ears. It might have been nice for it to have been quiet, the apocalypse carried in like pollen on a spring breeze. There’s nothing to hear now but smoke and static. I miss the hum of humanity.

M.I.A.
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. She was doing her best though. Kayla had shot out of the damaged airlock, spinning vertically and the video feed allowed us to watch her in a repeating tableau. Her face kept coming back into view and in the dead silence of the bridge, we watched her, the spin taking her face, in the helmet, in and out of sight. Nobody doubted that she was screaming and whatever the dynamics of sound in the vacuum of space, and an apparent total loss of communication through her comm connection, we all ‘heard’ her screaming. As she spun away into the vacuum, no one pushed the button that would have kept the image in focus, repeating the image of her silent screaming with every turn of her body.
