science fiction
The bridge between imagination and technological advancement, where the dreamer’s vision predicts change, and foreshadows a futuristic reality. Science fiction has the ability to become “science reality”.
The Well-Traveled Child
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But screams take many forms and eight-year-old Ginny Fitch is only just beginning to learn some of them.

How did I get here? Somewhere in a seemingly infinite dark void of what use to be space. I asked for this; I wanted this. Or at least I thought I did. But just like my first time volunteering for combat, I had no idea what I was in for. I thought about it constantly for the decade the process was underway. I thought I understood the risks, I thought I understood the concept of time. Years of injections to prepare my body for the procedure. All the warnings of different scenarios, like being trapped at the bottom of the ocean for eternity. Well, that is ridiculous because no ocean is eternal. But I should have headed the warning a little more cautiously.

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. That is why they had built the Human Abattoir Space Station, HASS. The five kilometre wide rotating disc of titanium, Kevlar and high grade steel, orbiting the earth. At the focus of the disc was the singularity, which was encased in the gravitational suppressor, a five hundred metre deep layer of Osmium. The Osmium reduced the strength of the singularity’s gravitational pull to close to that of Earth’s. The Osmium allowed the residents to ambulate the perimeter of the disc and maintain their muscularity, rather that atrophying in zero gravity. The residents speculated on the origin of the singularity, its purpose, and what would happen if you ever approached it. Many fantasised that it connected their universe to one that housed the so called ‘New Moon’ - a planet habitable to humans, teaming with plant-life unscoured by the evil of man. James was under no illusion that the singularity would atomise you before you got the chance to even perceive it. Despite the complex engineering of the osmium layer, the remainder of the living quarters, or cells, were rudimentary at best. The cells were a tessalation of hexagons, two metres wide, with a single mattress, sink and toilet. The tessalate housed over one-hundred-thousand residents. The female and male cells were separated by a militarised zone. There was a training field one hundred metres wide, where the residents spent the entirety of their free time. The slaughter-room’s location was unknown, but its existence definite. The screams were a constant reminder of that. The men knew the date that they would walk to the slaughter-room - on their eighteenth birthday. For women it would be after their third child.
From Beyond
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I know I never heard any. Especially on that God forsaken day. It was an average day. Everyone was bustling around doing whatever their job was. I was as you already know, one of those people. Major Bosen “Acrobat” Damian of the Primordial Republic. I was a fighter pilot currently stationed on the PRIMORDIAL REPUBLIC SPACE SHIP TEMPEST (P.R.S.S TEMPEST). Everyone mostly just called me “Acrobat” because of my flight skills. I could fly anything and do almost any maneuver once I got the hang of the controls. My preferred space craft was currently the 240Z Swordfighter.

I slowly look around the bright green and red room as my vision slowly starts returning to normal. I knew immediately I wasn’t on the SUNRISE. Another dream, I guess. I sit up and take in my surroundings. I was in a chamber of sorts. The room was filled with shades of flickering red and green. I recall the events up to where I remember and came to one of two conclusions. Conclusion 1: I was knocked unconscious and was currently in the SUNRISE’s medical bay. Or Conclusion 2: I really died this time.

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But despite thankfully never being caught out by a faulty airlock, I have to respectfully disagree.
When Time Runs Out CH2
So, tell me: Why is it when you are put into a worst-case scenario, rock bottom is still two or three feet below that. Yet still, manages to come and bite you. Being face to face with this creature, gave me enough to question if the bottom had been hit yet.

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say, but as the mocha pattern of gas and stars swirled against the inky, icky dark above, you could hear them scream as my machete cut into necks. My arm was burdened from fatigue, and it took me two strikes to sever a head from the body. The backward swing caught and sprayed blood while the blunt thud splayed it down the front and back. The swinging and chopping had made a Rorschach pattern of blood and entrails against white robes and hoods. It was the only way and necessary. I had to go through them to get to Her, but I didn’t mind . . . not at all.

Silent screams
"Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say." "That's because 'they' are all idiots," Jack replied to Maddison as he slowly drifted his way over to her. "Of course you can't hear a scream in a vacuum, sound doesn't carry in a vacuum. I reckon the saying should have been "No one can hear you scream if they don't have their comms open."
