Horror
void.
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. The screams of absolute agony and pain echoes loudly in the chambers of my suit. There’s something out there. Some one, no, some people. A group of at least 4 or 5 creatures, wailing and begging for any sorts of aid. I tried to follow the sounds of those piercing noises in this void, but the further I went, the more strange I found the situation to be.

Artemisia
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But there are some things even space cannot contain, given enough velocity, mass…hunger. The strange ball of fire hurtled angrily on its final trajectory towards Earth. By the time it reached the atmosphere, it was positively roaring.

Siren Call
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. That was obviously true for the more traditional method, but Maria always thought that was a very limited way of thinking. After all, what was a distress signal if not a scream for help? Where the void of space swallowed sound waves, their electromagnetic cousins ventured forth undaunted. People saw that idea as morbid the few times she brought it up, to them it called forth ghost stories of phantom signals and the voices of the dead living on through radio transmissions, but Maria never thought of it that way. It always felt more inspirational to her; Humanity finding a way to transmit across unfathomable distances a very simple idea, arguably the basis for humanity as a concept - “I am here and I am in distress, please help me.” And it was her and her crew’s job to help.

Whitebread Willy in a Strange Land
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Willy pumped the brakes too quickly on his cherried-out 1979 F100 pickup with a hydraulic suspension system on rims from a newer Chevy Nova. The problem is it needed a part they don’t make anymore and so the 1979 front disk brakes were about to fail completely and the rear drums had to work twice as hard. Sometimes the rear wheels would lock up and skid mid way through the second brake-pump and sometimes it took 5. Ernest Willy never knew many pumps it would take. It was a rough ride.

Beyond World Intelligence Facility BWIF
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. There are no sounds in space. If you see someone scream, you could feel their scream and have empathy for them. Is that the same as hearing? And just who are they that say?

Dead Stars (Madness of Reality)
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. The black and infinite void of the universe is a cold place. It is bereft of life, of sound, of thought. It is here that beginnings come into creation and where worlds will meet their end.

In My Solitude
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. They also say if you open your helmet when there is no atmosphere your eyes will pop out of your head and explode. Others tell me it would be like boiling from the inside out. According to the posters plastered on the edge of The Mew, we would be aware for a few seconds before you basically suffocate- the air in your lungs would be forced out of your body and you'd be gaping for air like a fish before perishing due to oxygen deprivation.
