Silent Screams
Silent Screams By: Steven Dean Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Jarvis wondered why the psycho that had boarded their ship, with his equally deranged crew, was so fascinated by that idea. Thirteen people had died so far, so that this poor excuse for a human could test whether or not he could actually hear them scream once he threw them out the airlock.

The Black Ibis Case
Every investigator I know has a story about a case that nearly drove them mad. For some, the case was finding a missing person that just vanished into thin air, for others it was getting their hands on some classified documents for any number of reasons, and others ran afoul of people you’re better off knowing nothing about, all in the name of solving a case for a few dollars. Mine is a combination of all three, and unlike the cases I just mentioned, who only talk about being driven crazy figuratively, I very nearly did lose my mind, and my life.

The Day Mark Met Death
Mark knew he was dying weeks before the doctor told him, for Mark had seen Death. The first time Mark saw death was deep in the night. He had woken and rushed to the toilet to vomit, and found himself unable to fall back to sleep through the pain. This was normal for Mark, given the advanced state of his illness, so he already had a routine for such events. He brewed himself some Tea, Chamomile and Lavender, which was sometimes the only thing he could keep down, and sat down in front of his large bay windows to gaze upon the tree line of the forest at the edge of his property.
