The Smell of Ozone
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. That's the advertising blurb for a sci-fi book I'm attempting to read. It's supposed to be a great book that someone is going to turn into a great movie. All I can say is good luck with that. The screenwriter better have a great imagination. I mean, the premise of the book is awesome, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired.

The Marshall and The Deputy
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Why that particular saying popped into The Marshall's head remained a mystery. That first mystery spawned a second. Was aetherspace composed of vacuum or some other medium? To his knowledge, no one had ever done a study on it. Since he traveled through it quite often, it might be nice to know.

The Last Thousand
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of Space, or so they say. Unless they leave, a mob of nearly two thousand of my fellow humans, people with whom I worked side-by-side for the last twenty years, will find out the hard way. This is an impossible situation, yet here we are, on the verge of a catastrophe of monumental proportions where all of us within our ship, Empyrean, will become either mass murderers or victims of mass murderers.

Dark Pink Carnations: Demon Curse
Though half-asleep, Jase sensed the gentle sway of motion. He felt warm and safe and didn't want to open his eyes because he could almost feel the pressure of the bright light that pressed upon his lids. As soon as he pried his eyes open, that light would assail his Optic Nerve with sufficient intensity to cause pain. He tried to coax his mind back into slumber, but it refused to comply. Questions about the swaying motion and other odd sounds shifted his brain into overdrive. His body felt anxious to the point where his muscles twitched.

Demi-Gods of Ancient Egypt
The Third and Most Powerful Major Feline Goddess According to Egyptian legend, long ago, the sun god Ra grew angry with the behavior of his human subjects and sent his daughter, Sakhmet, a lion-headed goddess, to punish them (Source 1). Sakhmet, whose name evolved from the Egyptian word for “She who is Powerful,” was mentioned in the Book of the Dead several times as a destructive force and a healing force. In addition, she was the patron goddess for Healers and Physicians and could cure plagues and diseases for those she found favorable (Source 2). In this instance, however, she would be known more as a force for terror than for life. Sakhmet was extremely effective at punishing the humans for insulting her father. She also acquired a taste for the blood of her victims.

In the Ghost's Shadow
Brick made it back alive from yet another op, but his blood brother didn’t. Some winter break that was, he thought. Still, there he was at the foot of the stairs, staring at the double doors of the science hall at Jarvis University in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The light, seemingly everpresent breeze snatched the puffs of steam from his nostrils, only to freeze his nose hairs upon his next inhaled breath. The crisp, clean, cold air bolstered Brick because it cleansed him of the dark, heavy, dankness of the Myanmar rainforest where Fritz had been slaughtered. He sighed.
