Who Wants To Be Human Anyway?
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. No one had ever heard Hugo scream for his entire life - regardless of his present situation tumbling through space from an airlock. Humanity had never bothered to hear him: not when marching for robot rights centuries before and certainly not since androids, like Hugo, had become passe. Everything was genetically engineered now. It was so much cheaper and comprehensible to make a workforce biologically. Living things were far easier to control. The genetic engineers could inhibit certain behaviors, select for desirable emergent traits, and the raw materials involved were so much easier to repair and replace.

PAST FORWARD
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Yesterday, as we threw out the prisoners out of our ship, we could not hear a sound. But their terrified faces are like screaming cries that still echo in my head. As a Vega of this ship, my power held no value to prevent this brutality - all in the name of keeping the majority alive. What an irony it is that the more we try to save humanity from going extinct, it feels like we are losing humanity even more.

Smart Gas
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But the Alien had senses beyond comprehension. It could feel the vibrations of swirling comets. It could measure the crushing gravity of its home planet. It perceived the noisy workings of the Universe, from exploding Suns to the whisper of drifting dark matter. Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, but the alien could hear the screams of an entire species. A cacophonic noise coming from the third planet.

Walking in the autumn mood
Open the calendar do not need to look at any calendar, look outside the window to know that autumn has come. The thick autumn fog is everywhere, dotted with drops in the spider's web, pearls are generally lustrous. When the sun licked these luster slowly dry, the mantle of autumn has long been drawn, maple leaves are beginning to star to become girls up, red like love is being mellowed by spirits blazing. The sky is also vast, and the clouds, too, are walking soothingly in the blue sky, just like a philosopher. Look at your feet, laying a thick layer of gold, stepping on it is like walking in the clouds. Just look up at the spider and there is some disappointment because autumn is, after all, a silent season, but also a little bit of the coolness of winter.
