science fiction
The bridge between imagination and technological advancement, where the dreamer’s vision predicts change, and foreshadows a futuristic reality. Science fiction has the ability to become “science reality”.
Space Camp Class 1A
“Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. If your smart you’ll always keep your space suits on, trackers and your communication devices working. It may save your life one day, space cadets. Now with your basic training completed we are heading to space camp class 1A. We leave in 1 day, be ready at launch deck H for boarding at 8am. You're all excused.”

Carrier lost
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. It’s one of those trite aphorisms that means nothing of course, hearkening back to the times of organic matter and bodies that compressed gasses and passed them through pressurized tubes across membranes that controlled the vibrations in the gaseous material and transmitted sound. Sound. Imagine that. Sound…

Vera and the Escape to the Infinity Pod
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. And Vera had tried. Her trajectory had begun two months prior, surreptitiously, with the casual flirtations of a group therapist named Loy. Loy was a member of the Serapis’s maintenance crew, and in an effort to move into the ranks of medical staff he mediated the after dinner therapy sessions for the eleventh ward three times a week, which often dragged on for more than two and a half hours of excruciatingly boring revelations from the more outgoing patients. Vera kept quiet on most nights, but a particularly egregious account of physical transformation into a mosquito by a inmate named Marigold had caused her to erupt with laughter. Marigold occupied the cell next to Vera’s in the eleventh ward domicile and had been interned for stealing and consuming nearly a gallon of precious Ob positive blood from the bank at the medical agency where she was employed on earth. During her sarcastic uproar Vera had noticed Loy suppressing a smile in her direction, before narrowing his eyes and commanding, “Vera, enough!” But the glimpse of his subtly curved lip and his use of her birth name had captivated her, because she had considered all guards to be inhuman conduits of the coping agency, deftly proselytizing the ten principles of recovery.

[GE] Lor - Chapter 1
LOR 2. Lor awoke with a start, panting. It took a moment for the echoes of shrieking violence from her dreams to fade back into her memory, another moment for her to remember exactly where she was. Lor woke most days to the sounds of screams in her head. By her best calculation, Lor thought she must be around eight or nine years old. For too much of her young life she’d been running from the overwhelming shrieks of violence. The echoes never seemed to stop chasing her.

The Tenth Planet
Those Silent Screams You Hear May Just Be Your Own Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say…or so they say. However, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of advanced civilizations peppered throughout the Milky Way Galaxy itself, not to mention the goings on within the millions of galaxies that are scattered throughout the universe. And yes, we, the more advanced civilizations, do hear the screams of those civilizations that are teetering on the brink of extinction, despite the fact that several of those waning civilizations are, as of yet, not aware that they are screaming, or ought to be screaming due to the dire circumstances in which they presently find themselves. And due to the fact that several of those waning civilizations are ostensibly clueless with regard to their imminent demise, there are those more advanced civilizations that pity them, effectively writing them off. There are also those advanced civilizations that ignore them as a matter of course because in the lion’s share of those cases, there were steps early on that these waning bstars could have taken to avoid their present existential dilemma. Yet, time and time again, those common-sense measures were ridiculed as being unnecessary, or wasteful, or too expensive, or too simple, or not coming from someone with the right skin hue or sex organs.

The fogs of Titan.
"Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say." That was my thought as I looked out the viewport at the expanse of space. I was nervous about the mission a four year trip there and after a year a four year trip back. If the rocketship malfunctioned and broke apart no one would hear me scream for help.
