Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Nobody can see a dream in the absence of grace, that’s why we pray.

Blue Shadows
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Sound had to have air to travel, that was the science behind it. However Louise felt a chill run through her while she was on her walk. She couldn’t tell if it was a true scream or just her imagination. She had just watched an old horror film recently. She looked out the vast windows at the small blue sphere that lay beyond the horizon. The Earth was setting and she would have to return to her family’s cabin soon. All of the lunar colonies had been originally inhabited by single scientists and astronauts here for research so that eventually more Earth born dwellers could join. The Selene colony was first, designed for testing how to mimic the atmospheric conditions of Earth while still maintaining the level of gravity the moon did. Jericho was the colony that tested the long term effect of life in a lessened gravity environment. Such things as whether or not children would survive in the colony, or if they could even be conceived. There were huge ethical hoops to jump through as part of that establishment, which made it one of the last colonies to be tested. Once it was determined after years of research and volunteer missions, the moon was deemed fit for human habitation.

The Place Where Nothing Grows
1: smooth sailing Nobody can hear you scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. He couldn’t know for sure. Seeing his reflection against safety glass, Apollo wondered what would happen to him if his tether should break loose on a “walk” if his transponder died. He would skim an ocean of stars between him and a single solid footfall. Frankly, it didn’t sound all that bad until he saw his breath fogging up the two-inch barrier between him and that ultimate nothingness. Weightless or not, he’d still need oxygen. Once his tanks ran out, he’d breathe in his own exhaust. He couldn’t scream if he wanted to. His world would go foggy. Blood vessels would swell in his temples until he couldn’t think, until even the lights burning all around him couldn’t keep out the dark. He didn’t want to think about that now. He was here for the duration. He had an idea how long that was, but deployments had a funny way of stretching out. Just how long he’d be there was someone else’s decision.

The Great Nothing
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Anyone else may find traveling through such a void horrifying, yet it’s all I can think about. Naturally, I mean the Great Nothing, 700 million light-years away. The observable universe is so large, but no area has fewer galaxies than that dark, desolate place. It’s practically an anomaly. Shrouded in mystery.

A Girl of Death and Starlight
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Anyone with a grasp on basic physics or astronomy would be able to tell you that; but the cries of the innocent could defy even the stone law of science.

Musculus Misadventures
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I tried to push the stupid thought out of my mind. Now was not the time for all the trivial blasts of information my mind was so used to spewing. A brief image of my mother fluttered through my mind before I forced myself to open my eyes. They closed again involuntarily as the sound came through my com.link. Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space… Or so they say. They were probably ignorant of the fact that we have com.links built into our suits. His scream was truly deafening.

Look to the Stars
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But if you could, what would it sound like? A blood-curdling yell? An anguished wail? The plaintive cry of a creature in pain, lost and alone?

Life in the Stars
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Once upon a time, nobody knew this. Space was unexplored and unknown. Now, we have populated the stars. Humanity has expanded long beyond Earth. Mars, the Moon... and a colony in space. Miners, living on converted ships mining minerals on asteroids for the rest of humanity to exploit.

Repression and Robots
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Just to be safe, Jane always made sure that only Rosie was in the house while she screamed her frustrations. No point in upsetting the rest of the family, after all. If Rosie heard her, she never said anything about it, so the tradition of letting the vacuuming robot drown out her shouts and sobs slowly became habit.

Breathe
Chapter One Nobody can hear you scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Of course, that’s a lie or, at least, misleading to the maxstax. Certainly not the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the “so-help-me-God” pravda, capital T, truth.

The Law of Mother
“Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say,” Taley argued, wiping their greasy fingers together over the plate of fries before them.

The Starlet
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. If a bear shits in the woods and nobody sees it, did it really happen? If a woman wails in space and nobody’s around to hear it, did she really lose the love of her life?
