This is an entry for this week's Fifty Word Story Challenge coordinated by @jayna.
The prompt this week: space
As always, I like to try and use the word in my little story. This time, I got to use it twice.
In space no one can hear you scream.
The tagline from Alien echoed in Robert’s head, the irony not lost on him.
He should have let someone know he was cleaning out the industrial trash compactor.
His space got smaller and smaller. Then it was gone.
Nobody heard him scream.
