It’s all about equilibrium.
If you’ve ever felt what it’s like to have an inner-ear deficiency where the room seems to be spinning and you feel like you’re about to lose your balance and you even have to brace yourself with your other leg in order to steady yourself and you can replicate such a thing when you don’t have an inner ear problem or when you’re not drunk from a night out on the town…
…then you can pretend your ship just got hit by a missle — like me.

Look at me.
Are you looking at me? Laying there on the floor next to that sewing machine? No, I don’t know why I’m laying next to the sewing machine but can you see that my chest isn’t moving? No, not moving at all. Lean in closer. Put a mirror in front of my mouth to see if there’s any breath. There’s not? No breath, no chest movement, no nothing?
Voila! I am so good.
Pretending to be dead isn’t something you can just decide to do like you decide to take out the garbage or take up a hobby like knitting or old record cover collecting. Pretending to be dead is a skill that takes years of practice and decades to perfect if only for one very important aspect of the “I’m really dead, I swear” process.
