Absent

Please.

In some countries, a human is legally dead when their heart has stopped beating. In others, being legally dead requires there to be no electrical activity in the brain. A few require both, and most have a “after X minutes” clause added on.

Help.

But with no sensory input, with no heartbeat, with seemingly no brain, how does a person know they’re alive? Is the act of thinking enough to prove they’re still alive? No afterlife has been scientifically proven to exist, what if it was this? Just a mind with no input, forever?

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

Please help

The light packet must be elsewhere. That was the only explanation.

It’s scientifically impossible for light to vanish. It scatters, or joins other light, but it can’t simply turn into darkness.

The question now was: where did the light go? Mirror Station 06391 checked and re-checked their calibration, both electronically and physically. Humans and computers agreed their light cannon was facing Mirror Station 07396’s mirror.

Mirror Station 07396 checked and re-checked their calibration. Humans and computers agreed their mirror was directly facing Mirror Station 06391’s light cannon. Light could not have bounced off without being seen, at least in part, by their mirror’s sensors.

And yet, no light had been seen. Nothing had been caught. Mirror stations around the system were turning their sensors towards Mirror Station 07396, trying to find any stray light.

There wasn’t any.

This was, in every way, impossible.

So how had it happened?
