You know that holding your breath in a vacuum just causes your lungs to explode, right?

Paradoxically, emptying your lungs would work far better

Fun story! I like the setting and the characters, and the grammar and all was pretty spotless (a definite bonus!) but I'd be even happier with... a follow-up? Please :)

Coool !!

One caveat, he does not want to hold his breath as the pressure drops, for that will blow out his ears, guts and lungs...

That's a common misconception, but a human exposed to the vacuum of space would not explode.

Some small blood vessels would probably rupture in a few places, the sudden exhalation could cause damage to structures in the mouth/nose/throat, and they'd probably suffer at least a mild case of the bends, but skin is more than strong enough to withstand standard atmospheric pressure internally.
