Desired Limitations
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Sound travels through vibration in air particles that typically carry oxygen, and with space existing as a vacuum, sound becomes absent. Unless one were to carry radio device in ones' suit, you would not be able to hear your travel partner.

A.$.P. Armoured Series: The Infinity
Part 1 Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say, an explorer says as he grabs a round purple gem embedded in an asteroid. He studies it a little and tells his crew eh look at this. Have y’all ever seen something like this. No man I seen purple gems but that’s the size of bowling a ball one of the explorer says right and it’s heavy another says. Ground control we found a purple gem the size of a bowling ball embedded into the asteroid. We are sealing it in an H-Box. Okay explorer, you and the rest of the team set up charges and get off that asteroid. The team sets up chargers and get into their pods as they move away from the asteroid. The charges are detonated. The explorers return back to LETSA (Late Explorer treasure salvaging Association) and the one in charge is the general lasso and he is giving orders. Take that to room G and add a little more safety and security when studying it. They take it to room G and they use a scan card to open the door and the door slides open. While studying, one of the scientists says it has a frequency that’s giving off. We’ve never heard this frequency before or felt that it’s not of this world. Well, we did find it in space, so what would you suggest? The general asks. I would suggest putting it back and never touching it or we could analyze it under x-ray. Then put it under X-ray and get some more information from it. The scientist puts it in the x-ray machine and once it’s turned on, the radiation from the machine cracks the gem and it starts to expand. Everyone rushes and hides behind the barrier and then the gem explodes. Pieces and debris go everywhere and through the smoke a beautiful goddess begins to appear. She looks around the room as she stands there ragged clothes with gem fragments circling her. One of the explorers that found the gem walks over and offers her a jacket and pants. She turns to him and levitates him in the air. He is not phased one bit as he is mesmerized by her beauty. You are the one that found me on that asteroid. Why aren’t you scared, she asks in a reverb voice. I was, but if you wanted to hurt me you would have. She levitates him closer and kisses him on the cheek. She puts him down and says go over there. She takes what she was given and alters it so magically as there is a golden glow while she does. She turns it into a metallic charcoal glittery dress with gold and white trim. She then walked over to the young man who offered her the clothes and she asked him where his loyalties lie. He said I have no loyalties, I just work here. Will you be loyal to me, she asks. I will, as he bows to her, she takes his hand and helps him power up and unleash his abilities. What is your name. She asked her loyal subject. The name is Brett and what might I call you? He asks. She looks and grins and stretches. You can call me The Infinity. They walk out of the room and start leaving the building when soldiers yelll hold do not move put your hands behind your back and surrender. Oh Loyal servant she says cheerfully remember those abilities that I gave you it’s time to use them. But I don’t know what abilities I have. Well we are going to find out we. Yes we are he says.

Golden Years
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say… Major Culpham had that thought in his head as he prepared for the day. He looked through the viewfinder and studied the material captured. All the scanning of the previous day was uneventful and he felt that he should just get this out of the way early to complete his other duties. And yet…he felt an urge to go back once more and review what he saw…and heard.

Bereft
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But you don’t have to hear something to feel it. A silent scream— deep and aching, but inaudible. The reverberations of that desperate cry seem to shake the very stars themselves. They streak across the sky, celestial tears falling on the face of a dying planet. Constellations of cracks taking shape across its surface, some narrow and delicate, others deep and vast— lit from within by the shattered, fiery heart of the planet caving in upon itself. All that was beautiful long ago devoured by the selfishness and greed of the planet’s inhabitants. Delving deeply in pursuit of more resources, when they already had all they needed to thrive, never giving a thought to the consequences their actions might produce. Nearly lost within the chaos, a final gasp— a dying breath, shuddering and soft. Sent by the breeze of its final sigh, was the remnant of those who were now set adrift, with nowhere to cast their anchor, no safe haven to return to, no place to call home. The passengers desperate to put enough distance between themselves and the place they once called home, before the very planet whose beauty and life their greed had devoured, would with it’s dying breath consume them. The last echoes of what had been, fading with each generation, until there is no memory of home at all. Only a vague impression shrouded deeply within the shadows of the past, or a deep indescribable yearning for a place they had never known. They say those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. But how can you learn from the mistakes of the past, if your history has passed from knowledge, no longer even dwelling in the shadowed memories of the ancient still living among you. Bereft. They wandered, drifting for generations never setting foot in a place long enough to establish roots. Exploring, their restless hearts searching. But for what? They could no longer remember. In the vast expanse of space they would surely find what they had been seeking... wouldn’t they?

Baby Boy Floating In Outer Space.
***** Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I have been cleverly bundled inside layers of soft and squishy sheets. The sheets are folded in an immaculate pattern giving it a swirly look. The pattern has been surreptitiously designed to evoke empathy in the eyes of potential predators.

The Secrets of Mars
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I’ll take their word for it. Whoever “they” are. I have no interest in finding that out today. I’m just here to do the minimum, get the extra credit, and go home.

Excerpt From my short story "Jason's Quest"
A voice fell out of the hills, approaching the Argonaut camp, "Jason?" Jason wheeled around. His eyes scanned the landscape cautiously.

Avalon Myst
CHAPTER 1 A pair of big brown eyes framed in strong cheekbones stared into the red, beat up Voltswagen rearview mirror. Aurora looked at her mother's reflection and that of her own in disdain. It was just the two of them ever since she could remember. Her mother held her gaze, silently pleading for the slightest bit of understanding. Aurora didn't get why they had to move; giving up everything they had worked so hard to obtain, just to start over in an unfamiliar and uncomfortable place.

The Science of Souls
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. No one heard him, or the explosion, as the nuke made it's way into the portal. It was like he was alone. Matteo was quiet for the first time, no one could hear his comms. There was no quip to the bad guy that would solve this, or make this at all light hearted. He was terrified and alone in space. Making the sacrifice play for a team that didn't care.

Joker Jones and the Asteroid
It could hardly be called an asteroid. Barely 150 meters at the widest and weighing in at a few thousand tons. A mere pebble in the Asteroid Belt, it had only been discovered and registered two years before. But it was his asteroid, ‘ZZTP0DxQ’ which he had named Asteroid Charlene.

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I am here to say that is a flat out lie. When I was a little girl, my mother, Aurora, always sang me the same lullaby. Night after night.
