If your reflection is missing

1. Do not touch the mirror. If you have already touched the mirror, SKIP TO STEP 15 IMMEDIATELY.

2. First, make sure that your reflection is really gone. Make sure that you are visible. If you are not visible, the lack of a reflection is normal.

3. Check another mirror to see if your reflection is there. If so, the mirror without a reflection is simply broken and needs replacement.

If you have confirmed you are visible and your reflection is gone from all mirrors:

4. Do not touch the mirror.

5. Fill a bowl with water. Overnight, leave it at the base of the mirror nearest to your bed.

6. When you wake, if the bowl is empty, your reflection simply has business elsewhere for a while. You may rest knowing your reflection will return when they are ready.

7. If the bowl is still full, your reflection has been taken.

If your reflection is gone:

8. Be ready. They may come for you.

9. Prepare for a journey. With your reflection gone, you may pass through the mirror, but first, be sure you are prepared.

10. Bring food and water. Beyond the mirror, eat or drink nothing unless it has specifically been offered to you. Dying of hunger or thirst is better than the alternative.

11. Tie one end of a ball of string around your ankle, and the other to something on this side of the mirror, like the foot of your bed. This will not help, but sometimes reassurance is necessary.

12. Do not trust what your eyes or ears show you. Count the number and direction of each step you make. Make no marks. Take nothing with you. Leave nothing behind.

13. What state you find your reflection in will vary. I cannot advise you on this. Trust your instinct. Do not trust them.

14. Follow the steps you made back to the mirror. Do not let your reflection ahead of you. They will be grateful for your rescue, but they may still try to leave, trapping you in their place.

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY TOUCHED THE MIRROR:

15. I’m sorry.

16. Try to wash the chrome off your hands. You will not succeed.

17. Wait. Be ready.

18. They are coming for you. There is nothing you can do.

19. I’m sorry.

i’ve been doing my homework on how to break into a writing career and honestly. there’s a Lot that i didn’t know about thats critical to a writing career in this day and age, and on the one hand, its understandable because we’re experiencing a massive cultural shift, but on the other hand, writers who do not have formal training in school or don’t have the connections to learn more via social osmosis end up extremely out of loop and working at a disadvantage.

It would be a real shame if instead of being covered by paint, which can be removed, bronze statues of racists were to come into contact with saltwater or tomatoes and be destroyed by irreversible bronze disease.

I believe in free education, one that’s available to everyone; no matter their race, gender, age, wealth, etc… This masterpost was created for every knowledge hungry individual out there. I hope it will serve you well. Enjoy!
