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 Grave Robber Journals
“Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say.” That’s what I heard on the radio just an hour ago, but here’s my question: since no one has ever left Earth, how can you know if that’s true or not? Isn’t it all a best guess?

The Royal Space Force
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. For James Hogg, that was more than enough motivation to keep his boots on planet Earth. But it seemed like he was the only one in Forrest City who felt that way. Representatives from the newly established Royal Space Force were scheduled to discuss career opportunities on the intergalactic space station; all afternoon classes for H.B. High School were canceled for the event.

The Silent Scream
"Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Nobody can see our rainbow sky more than one planet away." I laughed as I read the ancient philosophy to my students. " It is rumored that in our early days there used to be a rainbow sky every night when the moon passed by." The students listened spellbound as I talked. Tonight the whole sky would be full of colors. Tonight each student would learn their calling. They all had their own dreams, their own desires. Some had shared with me, some had not. They were nervous but excited. They sat silently and listened.

Depths of a Machine Soul
"Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of spaces, or so they say. " Great Scott! What a cliché, Ridley thought as he read the opening line of the latest submission laid on his desk. But then again, clichés were clichés for a reason, and that reason was that they worked. They were comforting to the reader, and if a story didn't conform to the worn-out clichés of fiction, then it would probably be rejected by publishers on the grounds of non-conformism.

Welcome to VIRTUAL LIFE™
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Which is weird when you think about it. I always thought that made Space sound more like a dream. As though you had sunk into another world inside your mind. The only way to know you’re there and not here is to know what's missing. To see what isn’t there. You’re falling but don’t feel the wind. You run but don’t feel the ground beneath your feet. You cut yourself but don’t smell blood. You scream and no sound comes out. It’s all just in your head, you see. Your joy, your pain, your heartbreak, your life. Its yours and yours alone.

Dark Side of the Tracks
It’s always the worst kind of sleep that’s the longest. Peter wasn’t totally sure why he felt so terrible, but the sensation was familiar. A long shift in the trainyard could take a toll on both the body and mind but it was relaxing afterward that made it worse. Peter knew his last shift had been particularly awful, but the details were fuzzy, kind of like a hangover. It doesn’t matter, thought Peter. In a few minutes his alarm would screech, forcing him to get out of bed and figure out what he could get done during his 18 hours off.

Phaedra's First Escape
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Space, however, can still be created from nothing and exist with or without matter. Since the origin of the universe, entropy and rebirth have been the force behind galaxies, new ones being created and others disappearing into black holes in complete silence or supernovas in an utter cacophony of chaos. In one spiral galaxy, a series of planets orbited a star, and one of these planets gave rise to life. The space around them had yet to be explored, but with each new satellite and telescope these life forms sent out, the possibility of finding life elsewhere became more probable.

Dream Gliders
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But I know they’re wrong. ***** I was born on this ship almost 18 years ago. My parents were born on it, too. And their parents. Only Mom’s grandparents remembered the planet Earth, and they died last year. They told me intricate stories about deep, blue oceans, purple mountains that seemed to touch the sky, and lush forests inhabited by the strangest creatures. There was something called “snow” that was as white as my boots, and lightning that lit up the sky like electricity, whatever that is.
