“Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, Or so they say.”
C. H. RichardPublished 2 years ago in FictionHellions
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Sound depends on vibrations and so requires a medium, like air or water. If you're on a ship, in a pressurized air cabin, the vibrations hit your ear and your brain interprets the sound as the other people in the cabin screaming for their lives, as they will when they're in that much pain.

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. They didn't mention that a scream is only meant to convey danger – an acute warning: something is amiss, something is wrong, caution – and a scream can take many forms.

“Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space,” or so they say. Unfortunately for me, I’m still in my quarters and can hear every screech distinctly. I’m jostled awake by the irritating shrieking of grown men.

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But I know now that the Netari can transmit their thoughts to me if they want to.

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. The screams of absolute agony and pain echoes loudly in the chambers of my suit. There’s something out there. Some one, no, some people. A group of at least 4 or 5 creatures, wailing and begging for any sorts of aid. I tried to follow the sounds of those piercing noises in this void, but the further I went, the more strange I found the situation to be.

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But there are some things even space cannot contain, given enough velocity, mass…hunger. The strange ball of fire hurtled angrily on its final trajectory towards Earth. By the time it reached the atmosphere, it was positively roaring.

“Nobody can hear you scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say.” The exasperation in awakening was echoed in his intensely startling gasp of air. The panic was sudden. His stomach cramped as he heaved dryness & coughed & gasped wildly just as his arms flailed in nothingness. Nothingness. He stopped his wild grasps of control & watched in muted silence. Colors in his comprehension & spectrum outlined ellipticals & irregulars, spirals & star clusters. There were even opal planets & turquoise moons in his view as he slowly spun uncontrolled in space.

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. That was obviously true for the more traditional method, but Maria always thought that was a very limited way of thinking. After all, what was a distress signal if not a scream for help? Where the void of space swallowed sound waves, their electromagnetic cousins ventured forth undaunted. People saw that idea as morbid the few times she brought it up, to them it called forth ghost stories of phantom signals and the voices of the dead living on through radio transmissions, but Maria never thought of it that way. It always felt more inspirational to her; Humanity finding a way to transmit across unfathomable distances a very simple idea, arguably the basis for humanity as a concept - “I am here and I am in distress, please help me.” And it was her and her crew’s job to help.

Chapter 1 The Devil Inside "Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say... Is this along the same lines as: If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? No! they are completely different but let's take a look at this for a moment. Sound cannot not travel in a vacuum, but that doesn't mean the person who screams can't briefly hear him or herself as the last molecules of breath are forced out of their lungs. Sadly, we may never know because that person wouldn't survive to tell the tale. All we would see is every drop of blood vacate their pores right before their body bloats and expands twice its size. They will then freeze to death, becoming a floating piece of space junk for all eternity... Similarly, if no one is there to hear a tree fall, does it make a sound? Of course it makes a sound, but this also can't be proven. How can you prove a sound was made if no one was there to hear it? It seems that parts of life depend solely on our observations in order for something to be perceived as real. Don't get me started on that!"

Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I did. Over the hiss of the airlock breaching. Over the claxons sounding at every station.

"Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say... Aye, that is true, but listen to me, lad. You can still feel them. When there are other souls around you, and they are in pain, you’ll know.”
