This 15-20min Science Fiction short is a solid read for fans of the genre.Imagine a world where the corporation implements man's conquest of space. The profit motive reigns supreme; the corporation (the Entity) has its own military and heaven help any alien race in the way. Add a drug called "Scream" to the mix, given to certain troops. It is addictive, but it also enhances speed, mentation and endurance.  Any strong emotion, even horror or pain, is transformed into a euphoric experience. Withdrawal is fatal. What would this do to society and to the individual? Trelayne  used to be one of these troops. He's trying to escape the memories, but he can't escape the Scream.Any more information might ruin the story for you. You'll just have to read it for yourself and find out why this story was an award winner. You'll be glad you did.
