    No sight, no sound, no smell, no touch, no taste.


    Help.


    The act of sighing is relaxing. It gets all the carbon dioxide out of a human’s lungs, allowing fresh air to fill them. It causes muscle relaxation, which when combined with oxygen makes the brain produce calming chemicals.


    Help.


    Screaming in frustration has a similar effect. It removes all air from lungs, allowing fresh air in. It is physically exhausting, meaning muscles are forced to relax afterwards. It also hurts, meaning there’s a physical pain to focus on instead of an emotional pain.

    Help.


    With no lungs, it is impossible to scream. Therefore, there is no distraction from the stress of not knowing what was happening.

    Item 6: Mirrors reflect light. That is what mirrors have done since the first human polished a piece of copper and saw their face. Mirrors. Reflect. Light. They have to. It’s science. It’s an unbreakable law of the universe. Mirrors have to reflect light, or it isn’t a mirror. If there is light to reflect, a mirror will reflect it.
