in the suburbs no one can hear you scream

Did you know that because space is a vacuum, there is no medium through which sound can travel. So it follows, that in space no one can hear you scream.

All I hear around me now are the intermittent muffled sounds of car doors slamming. There is no collective medium here. Nothing between the lawns and windowed boxes indicates a shared presence, that my air may touch your ears. All is silent and expanding ever outwards.
