CHAPTER ONE Nobody can hear you scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. That wasn’t his area of expertise. Montes didn’t care much for Carl Sagan as a kid.

Whispers From the Stars. Runner-Up in New Worlds Challenge.
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But no one mentioned anything about the whispers. When we first sighted Venta 614, we thought we had discovered paradise. Our Gaia Probe had sent back signals of optimum habitability. A planet, not only similar to the one our ancestors had originally called home, but one flourishing with more nutrients and resources than we could have imagined. It was like a dream, though dreams often reshape themselves into something else entirely.

"Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say." (Recording play back stops, then radio static...) "Voyage Log-in #97 Captain Logan Kelly...

We had an emergency eject before crash landing in this field. My co-pilot T.Smith radio is unresponsive I'm heading his way approximately an half mile down from me."

Gorgar: Voidborn
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Fools! Even now, light years away, the mournful howls of the Voidborn reverberated through Gorgar’s steely bones.

My God
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. But this astronaut was hearing them filtering through the static of the intercom. She was too afraid to move so she sat still curling her fingers around the cold metal of a crucifix that hung preciously down in front of her throat, offering her some comfort. The astronaut closed her eyes and muttered a prayer under several deep heavy breaths.

The Fuchsian Expanse
Chapter 1 - Ascent Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I wish it were true. I wish you could look a man in the eyes as he begs for his life and hear nothing. But they’re wrong. The brain has a way of connecting the dots. You see the contortions as your mind spins around like a carnival. You wince as the body twists in agony, piercing the vacuum with a desperate concoction of emotion. You hear something much worse without sound. You hear something that thrusts into your brain like a thousand needles; an orchestra of discordant strings in a crescendo suddenly ceasing all at once within a fraction of a second. This conjured terror is louder than any audible scream and feels colder than any crevice of the Earth. The sound of a dying scream through the air on Earth is a warm lullaby compared to the death rattle heard within the vacuum of space.

The Rim
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. When you came to me, John, I heard your screams. Thick plumes of vapor condensing against a clear visor like frost. Screams that years ago thrashed your voice, now but an echo in your mind. Your eyes wild, scream loudest of all; thick with anger, betrayal, and despair. Sanity long since seeped from your mind like viscous sap. Your shouts placated only by the humdrum of liquid state hydrogen and oxygen injecting into kerosene. The hiss and whine of engines and gears numbing your senses. In this den of snakes you are held captive by the very mechanisms designed to support you.

The PI Without Answers
It was late at night when Nathan Heron jogged lightly through the park. He stayed close to the fence as he searched the cars parked along the street and cast occasional glances to the houses across the road, paying particular attention to windows where the lights were on. Spotting the familiar dull red Volkswagen he checked to ensure no one was looking before climbing over the fence and tapping the passenger side window. The driver leaned over, opened the door and Nathan climbed in.

The Lost Author
Detective Constable Michaela Riach was mindful of her step; the forest’s thick undergrowth was wet from recent rainfall and glistened in the bright afternoon sun. Three paces behind her followed DC Martin Steenson. He was the favourite of the new recruits among the men Michaela worked with and she was determined to give him a taste of what the job actually entailed beyond the preferential treatment from which he'd so far benefitted.

The Effects of a Broken Astronaut.
“Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say.” The words came from the scratchy child's voice on the tape, floating through the greenhouse where Hearl kept his suspects. The beings of another kind in his own eyes, when they resembled nothing more than humans.

The Iconoclast
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Yet, I've been listening to the anguished screams of my passengers and crew members for almost two weeks now, and they've been quite clear and distinct... Evans was first. Then Murray, Kuong, Rios, and finally Mr. and Mrs. Neigele. I have no idea who else may be dead or dying because I was able to cut off shipwide communications before the screams and the laughter drove me insane.

The Worst Ghost Story Ever
When it comes to telling ghost stories, some people take their roles very seriously. From telling creepy tales around the campfire to writing frightening fiction about ghosts and haunted houses, there are many people who find this sort of thing very scary. However, these stories are often so unbelievable that you have to wonder if anybody would actually believe them. While these stories may seem absurdly ridiculous and impossible, there is a reason why they’ve persisted for so long. Humans have been telling ghost stories probably since the invention of speech. There are good reasons why they have stuck around for so long – because they are based in truth. Although the details may be more embellished than we can imagine, there is truth behind every one of these ghost stories. So let’s take a look at some of the most famous ghost stories and see what’s behind them... The Montague Mansion: The Montague Mansion is one of the most famous haunted places in America. It is also one of the most famous ghost stories in America. The story goes that around 100 years ago, the son of the owner of the house murdered his wife in a fit of rage. Since the murder, people who have stayed in that house have reported hearing screaming and crying, as well as seeing blood on the walls. The truth behind this ghost story is that the bloodstains were there when the house was purchased in the early 1900s. However, the story behind them is not as simple as a murder. The house was owned by a couple who had three children, two boys and one girl. When the girl was around 9 years old, she showed signs of a serious illness. Doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her, but they could tell that she was suffering from both physical pain and some sort of mental anguish. Eventually, her parents decided to put her into a mental institution. The Suicide Bridge: According to legend, the Suicide Bridge in Scotland is haunted by the ghosts of those who committed suicide by jumping off the bridge. In fact, it is said that if you walk across the bridge carrying a pair of scissors, the bridge will open up and swallow you whole. There is a very real reason why there are so many stories of ghosts near this bridge. In the early 1900s, the bridge was actually a very busy place. The bridge was where people would throw the bodies of loved ones who committed suicide into the water below. This practice was so common that it became known as “scuttling the bridge.” However, the bridge has since become a place where those who contemplate suicide go to get help. There is still a large network of support for people who suffer from depression, and these organizations often use the bridge as a place for people to go for help. The Woman in White: The Woman in White is one of the most famous ghost stories in Britain. The story goes that once you have seen the Woman in White, you will never be able to escape her. The woman is said to be the ghost of a woman who was left to die in a house fire. The story says that the woman’s husband started the fire in order to collect on her life insurance policy. The truth behind this ghost story is much more tragic. The Woman in White was a real woman who actually did die in a fire. However, she was not murdered by her husband. She was actually a single mother who was trying to make a living as a seamstress. She rented a room in a boarding house, and one night a fire broke out in the house. The woman was trapped on the third floor, and she died there. The Hookman: The Hookman is one of the most famous ghost stories in New York City. The story goes that a man would go around the city and approach people with an iron hook for a hand. He would then ask his victim a question and if they answered it wrong, he would kill them with the hook. The truth behind this ghost story is that it was probably connected to a series of murders in New York City in the 1970s. A man named David Berkowitz was nicknamed “the Son of Sam” and was known as the “Hookman” because he used a pair of old scissors to kill people. Berkowitz was later arrested, tried, and sentenced to five life sentences in prison. The Old Asylum for the Insane: The Old Asylum for the Insane is a very old and scary looking building in New York City. The building was originally built as an asylum for the insane and operated in this capacity for many years. However, in 1913, the building was shut down and abandoned. People who have explored the building have reported strange noises and feelings of being watched. There are many ghost stories connected to this building. There is even a famous horror movie about the place. The truth behind this ghost story is surprisingly simple. The building was actually shut down because it was incredibly unsanitary. The patients were living in squalor, and the terrible conditions were bound to lead to infection. The building was torn down long ago and replaced with a much smaller building that still operates today. Bottom line: This brings us to the end of our article. We’ve seen that there is some truth behind every scary story. In fact, there have probably been people embellishing the facts behind these stories since long before they were written down. So the next time you hear a scary story, remember that it’s probably not as far-fetched as it seems.
