On Another Side of the Sun
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. In fact–nobody can hear anything, in the vacuum of space. It’s only by means of our bubble conduits, by which I mean our atmospheres, planetary or portable, in them and between them, that we can communicate over fragile lines.

In the Woods
"The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window." So the not so old man began, sipping at hot ginger tea, slapping unseen mosquitoes, before elaborating: “The candle flame was blue, shifting as sea waters, bright like Venus at sunrise. The few who witnessed it could not understand what it might have meant.”
