in our childhood years many of us fantasize about being astronauts there's just something so compelling so exciting romantic about the idea of taking a voyage into that great black beyond conquering the Stars and the unknowns of our humble little galaxy for the good of mankind and of course zapping a few little green men along the way however few of us will ever fulfill these whimsical dreams being an astronaut and a misery of the cosmos takes more than just the ability to hold down your lunch after a turbulent takeoff it's incredibly hard work all physics and chemistry and a good dose of good old-fashioned military resilience very few make the cut but for this you should be thankful you see I was an astronaut and I don't think I'll ever be right again every night the terrifying memories come back to flay me alive my sleep my wake up cold drenched in my own sweat and tears and lacking of breath in my lungs all because of that one night it started out perfectly normal or as normal as it gets when squeezing out a blob of toothpaste is harder than winning the Olympic relay my companion and fellow space Vera Robert had gone to bed much earlier than me complaining of an uneasy stomach following the consumption of another of our less than savory meals just make sure you don't crap yourself Bob I had playfully tried it you know how much work that'll be the cleanup being sick and low gravity is an unpleasant experience as I can personally assure you so my sympathies were with rubber however as the evening drew on and I got sick of losing on the onboard chess AI over and over again I grew painfully bored one of my favorite pastimes involved slowly taking off my shoes watching as the stringy laces were enveloped by the snare of zero gravity and drifted off words towards the ceiling of the cabin sure it was childish but don't judge me for it if you haven't tried it yourself even the smallest things can amuse her in such an lonesome and otherworldly environment as I watched my rubber soles take off like a shuttle above my head that was when I heard it faintly at first but unmistakably in the complete silence of the cabin static it was coming from one of the radios built into our helmets for a moment I just sat there mesmerised likely there was nothing we were in space surrounded by hundreds of satellites broadcasting multitudes of information it was hardly out of the question that we were picking up a stray signal and yet my gut told me it was something more I got up out of my seat floating across the corridor until I reached the locker for our space suits the static grew louder when I reached for my helmet so I knew which one of our radios needed a tune-up I picked up the helmet and reached inside for the radio and then stopped hello there was a voice coming out of the receiver it startled me so much I nearly yelled out loud and I banged my head hard against the metal grille just a few inches behind me ah hello is someone there afros still rubbing the back of my skull what the hell was going on we won't do a check in with Mission Control for another two days despite my concerns I lifted up the radio and pressed it to my ear and made the biggest mistake of my life hello this is michael stanton of the rising dawn do you read me over the voice came back almost immediately it sounded frantic and breathless and almost immediately i felt ill at ease thank god i don't know how much longer I can last out here if you hadn't come along my heart started to race hammering against my chest what's going on where are you communicating from over I'm right outside your ship Stanton can you open the hatch door and let me in I think for a moment there my blood actually ran cold there was no way anybody could be out there there was no other human beings for hundreds of thousands of miles we were alone up here me and Robert that had been the point the voice became anxious when I didn't reply what are you waiting for Stanton open the damned hatch and let me in my mouth felt drier than sandpaper my tongue was bloated heavy like a wad of butter no words would come Stanton come on are you just gonna leave me out here I found the strength to flick off the radio letting it slip from between my fingers and drift through the air I watched it go relieved to be away from it my chest was still pounding and now I felt my fingers starting to quiver I wanted to throw up but nothing would come the body gets used to harsh conditions it just didn't know how to prepare for this I pulled myself against the wall whilst I tried to catch my breath I shut my eyes tried to escape the endless blackness surrounding me I'll need to find another waiting for me beneath my eyelids then when I thought it couldn't possibly get worse I heard it let me in the voice wasn't like before sounded demonic no longer humanoid at all but deep guttural and fierce the radio continued to float away silent as the space that enveloped both of us the voice was coming through the walls from outside the ship let me in I could hear it breathing it was raspy heavy and animalistic somewhat akin to what I imagined a horns demon must sound like when it breathes it scrabbled against the body of the ship outside scratching as though pouring for a way inside for a couple of merciful moments it went silent then the cabin was filled with a cacophony of metallic drumming as whatever was outside started to smash the side of the ship with whatever equivalent two hands it possessed the sound was relentless drowning out any and all thoughts that might have been running through my head I pushed away from the wall and over to the opposite side desperate to be away from the source of the banging it cut out suddenly leaving the cabin with only my whimpering audible but after a couple of seconds it started up again on that side too an awful harrowing scream continued let me in let me in let me in I must have blacked out some point under the sheer dress of the whole thing because my next memory was Robert slapping my face night had come and gone and the cabin was silent once more however he had slept through the whole thing I was incredulous for a bit I believe too I must have imagined the whole experience but then we found my radio was missing from my helmet and the reality of the whole nightmarish ordeal started to sink in nobody believed me they all told me what I was describing was impossible sounds like the ones I was hearing couldn't possibly travel in a vacuum Robert for all the depth of friendship we had achieved whilst holed up together for two years thought I was nuts well screw him because everything that happened to me was real absolutely real even now a whole 20 years after I came back home the memories are more vivid than ever no amount of force therapy or visits with gangly patronising psychiatrists will ever free me from them they are a part of me now but it's okay because you believe me don't you the supernaturally inclined the believers here in the 21st century we are also accepting of one another there's always an ear willing to receive so that's why I'm telling this the story of rising dawn and the thing that tried to attack us the thing that was alive in the vacuous cold of space without protection the thing that's still up there somewhere
