Muffled Cries

A serious alternative to Heroic Comical Yells, there comes a time when the hero or heroine lets out muffled cries. This is common when screaming into a pillow out of anger, or trying to cry out through an antagonist's hand or a gag, usually to cry for help or yell at the antagonist. When a hero or heroine releases muffled cries, this could be an implication of the hero's distress. While some muffled cries can be silly, mostly they're serious, frightening and heart-wrenching, especially when the heroine is in some kind of peril.
