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”.
Till Death Do It's Part
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I could though. It was my own, in my mind, shaking my brain and ringing my ears while I closed my eyes as tight as I could as we attempted to do the unthinkable. The unimaginable. The unbearable.

Front-Row Earth
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Tlaloc stood at the main bay window, a large expanse of clear enforced glass overlooking Earth, as he pulled on his pulse suit before the start of his day. As successful as the engineers had been in creating anti-gravity technology to combat atrophy on the station, these suits were standard issue to deliver minor shock pulses to keep muscles active throughout the day.

Mourning Star
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. That's all I wanted now, to drift quietly into the sound of nothing. I had searched for that abyss here on earth but 2022 had evolved our planet into one giant satellite that could stream a steady kind of tinnitus you could actually feel. There were no more places one could dwell among the mountaintops and contemplate the Now. There was only the perpetual buzz of communications resonating through the Social Registry chip implanted in every citizen's molar. I needed to find fluent silence.

In the Shadow of a Great Dead God
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Above falls a fiery black object. It breaks through Earth’s stratosphere and trails the greatest plume of smoke from behind. Its fall sings like a siren, stabbing through the sound barrier faster than light. Smoke builds above and coats the naked blue sky in a gray mask, hiding the blazing sun from sight.

At the End of Everything
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. It’s the same when you scream internally; no one hears you as you shatter. Waking up now was like that. She was alone, body a horror show of tubes and wires, and she tried to scream but couldn’t so much as croak out her terror. Blindly she started tearing out everything protruding so grotesquely from her body. The pain was blinding. She had to get out of this coffin, this tube of plastic and blood.

The Europa Colonists
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. The exterior cameras caught footage of the incident. It was somewhat horrific. There had been some damage with one of the circuits which ran the exit portal usually used for robots exiting to make external fixes on the space station. The door opener had been tripped and a person, a female person, had been essentially ejected from the space station. Usually, robots used this in order to access the outside of the space station but they were always tethered before they exited. The entire area around the ejection portal was sterile and clean. All the surfaces were white and dustless, the cleaning robots went through these hallways a lot, vacuming up any dust and few people came in to dirty the space. Also, they didn't need to breathe, so they didn't need spacesuit enabled with an air supply. The footage contained the moment right after the young woman had been ejected from the space station. She must have been trying to open the window covering further to take more photographs, but the wrong button had been pressed at the ejection location, so she was immediately dumped into the vacum of space just outside the space station. There was a tether for when robots or suited construction workers used the ejection spot to go out into the darkness of space and repair the outside of the space station, but she wasn't connected to this tether at all. Even if she had been tethered she would have most likely died anyways since being out in space unsuited still would have killed her in under a minute. She had been trying to do some photography and even though people were banned from this wing, and only robots were allowed to access and walk about the storage area, she had snuck in with her camera and had been shooting through the window of the portal. The side of Europa which was facing away from the sun often glowed in the dark, and the young woman had always tried to take photos of the unique aspects of Jupiter's most beautiful moon.
