Professor Murphy Hears the Universe
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. It was Professor Murphy who was everyone’s favorite proff. He was an eccentric astrophysicist with the laser sharp wit of Robin Williams and actually in his younger years he might’ve been his doppelgänger. He intrigued us Astro nut wannabes to no end but there was always a twinge of melancholy that seemed to sadden him and caused him to stare in a comatose way out the window. We all knew what it was that caused this as his only daughter Astrid had been kidnapped and murdered three years ago and there were rumors that he could hear her calling his name from just outside the windows or the doors. Where the voice came from no one knew but he did tell us honestly that on one frigid South Dakota night, in a snowstorm, he heard her plaintive voice calling from seemingly a half a mile away and walked for miles until death was very close. His meanderings became legendary and dangerous.
