Screaming Bitch Virus

STFU

Coming from everywhere, yet nowhere at all, the screeching piercing of eardrums never failed to occur at 11:11 p.m. each and every night without fail.

The Covid pandemic masks had morphed into a new style of protection. Protective, yet only somewhat silencing, sound silencers.

Much like masks, they were never one-hundred percent effective. Exactly like the Covid pandemic, which now had been seemingly quelled, a successor contender appeared with a new, even stranger killer plague. A plague which was killing with sound.

This was new to science and medicine. There was no vaccine possible for an unbearably loud and uncanny siren call. As soon as new sound silencers were made, they became obsolete since the piercing screech became even louder each night.

Like a virus replicating and then mutating, a new interval or pitch was added irregularly and unpredictably. The sound was not of the Earth and couldn’t be traced. It was attacking us from somewhere in the unknown darkest vastness of space.

The current silencers one owned, which worked the previous night at 11:11p.m., suddenly could not even mute the newest mutation of sound. Thousands were found dead in their bed the next morning having fallen to sleep feeling somewhat protected.

The very best scientists trying to find what, where, how and why, were working tirelessly day and night. Unfortunately, they were also succumbing fast and this wasn’t something medical doctors, not even otolaryngologists, knew how to stop because it never even touched our bodies and wasn’t ingested or inhaled.

Scientists did know the horrific deaths were caused by the uncanny siren call, or ‘Screaming Bitch Virus,’ as it was now nicknamed. The decibels were loud enough to cause an air embolism in the lungs, which then travels to the heart and kills. Alternatively, the lungs might simply burst due to the increased air pressure from the previously ‘unheard of’ sound waves.

A really cruel and painful way to die in either case. Once dying starts, one cannot be saved.

Death always wins.

One thing on which science did already have consensus was the fact that loud sounds could absolutely kill. It’s just never…
