Galactic Marauders
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Yet, Carter heard plenty of screaming as the third thruster exploded.

Neodymium
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Talk about freedom to say anything! “BOOBS!” These humans don’t even understand, I’ve done my best but I’m ready to turn over and maybe stretch a little. Don’t get me wrong, I’m entertained, and this has been an ‘experience’, but I’m tired of the constant prodding and the way they take everything from me and turn it into garbage. It’s time for the next species to arise before these ones spoil my skin completely. Even if they could hear me in this vacuum, they aren’t listening anyway. I’m tired of these humans, and this change is long overdue.

Second Soul
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Nor can they see the dance of a slow death as your body convulses and chameleons into the most perfect shade of blue. No one tells you how your body swells and doubles its size, your blood boiling and evaporating through your pores. They never said that you will have 14 seconds before you pass out, that you will feel your saliva start to sizzle on your tongue. Don't hold your breath, your lungs may just rupture.

The Secret . Runner-Up in New Worlds Challenge.
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I may be on a spaceship but I am not in space. Rather, I am on a spaceship at the bottom of the ocean. So when Lander screams, when his mouth opens wide and reveals an “O” blacker than the water outside, I hear it.

Souls of Men
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. 10,000 years ago, mankind ceased to exist. They dominated the outer reaches of the universe until an event known as The Deliverance wiped them out of existence. However, a small dispatch of hyper wealthy humans managed to avoid such an event by creating a small enough rip in space to escape the vacuum they were in. Around 100 made it through on a small space station and sent themselves on a journey that had no destination.

The Lunari. Runner-Up in New Worlds Challenge.
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. In my personal experience, space is less like a vacuum and more like the deepest parts of the ocean. You can scream, and you can wave your limbs around like a madman, but it would all be futile. In the same way that the bottom of the ocean presents an endless darkness filled with endless mutated lifeforms seeking vengeance on its failed steward, space is an infinite void of oblivion that is, most likely, full of alien life that probably hates humans.

Dark Adaptation
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say… The darkness is all engulfing, it pulls at you, wanting you to become a part of its vastness. It is illuding and somewhat comforting when you think about it. Drifting alone through space and time. Not having to worry about responsibilities or relationships. A calm sets in and then acceptance takes over. Then, just nothing.

Station Atlantis Chapter 1
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Randall found himself questioning that fact upon hearing Rachel and Jamie in the room next to him. Not since he was a freshman in undergrad did Randall Jackson have to contend with roommates having loud sex at the witching hour. On his day off. He had heard them going at it at around 21:00 SIM Time the night prior, just as he began preparing for bed, and had thought that they were through with it then. Nope. Whatever spark of passion inspired them to wake up at 04:00 and fuck was beyond Randall's knowledge. No way their circadian rhythms still aligned with their home time zones on Earth. Perhaps their bodies had gotten too used to the emergency drills and now woke up at random times in the night. Maybe one of them had a nightmare of a Xenocephalopod devouring them whole, he had nightmares like those sometimes. Or maybe one of them had a dream of home, and awoke homesick and in need of comfort. Randall had dreams like those too. At Station Atlantis, built into the icy crust of Europa, intimacy was easily ignited by loneliness. Regardless, Rachel and Jamie were awake, and so was Randall. Knowing he wouldn’t fall back asleep, Randall sat up and stretched before inching out of bed. Amid the thumps and moans arising from the other room, he changed out of his nightclothes into a tank-top and basketball shorts, and made his way towards the exercise room.

Red-Blooded
Embri spit at the foot of the person in front of him, flashing his most challenging smile despite the brutal taste of metallic left on his tongue. The chains that pulled his arms back and strained his shoulders were harsh against his wrists. Had he not been forced to his knees with the blunt ends of the guards’ swords, there would have been no way in hell he’d look up to the Asterian in front of him.

The Dread Pirate Redbeard
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Then again, the shackled captain thought, as he scanned the room, people’s last thoughts were seldom heard. The courtroom stood bare. Walls the cold grey steel only found in Federalé ships. If a tree falls in the woods, does it make a sound? The judge was a brick of a man. The jury, not a single one would he call a peer. If the airlock I be damned, the airlock I be damned.

The Samhain Chronicles: Ch. 10
Danny's palms began to sweat as he stood before the mystery woman, his eyes darting back and forth between her and Penelope struggling in her grip. "I don't know who you are," Penelope grunted, "and I don't care! Daniel is not going with you, and that's-" Her eyes widened as she trailed off abruptly with a choking gasp. The woman's arm had pressed tighter to her throat, cutting off her defiant chirps.
