Alarms

The Heroine and the Heist It seems like time is ticking in slow motion. Alarms are ringing in my ear. Tiffany and Co is going into lockdown. “We need to take the dosh and run!” screams my partner in crime, Rob, from behind the front counter. I turn to see my reflection in one of many glass cases. The world stops as I realise the criminal who I have become. There’s no going back to my previous life. “Now!” screams Rob. I swing my crowbar into the glass. SMASH! Glass shatters into a million…

people who do not know what to do in the case of emergency are more likely to suffer from normalcy bias. Also, if there is a warning that a disaster is coming, take it seriously because it is better to endure through a false alarm alive, then it is not taking the real alarm seriously, and dying from…

name, or my mom’s name; she did not even know what year it was! Because she had several brain bleeds, she was not allowed out of bed. There was an alarm on her bed, so if she did try to get up, the nurses were supposed to come immediately and bring her back to bed; however, this was not the case. I personally witnessed numerous instances where the bed alarm went off and a nurse did not show up. My mom, while spending every night in my sister’s room, was unable to sleep knowing that there was a…

Everyday research is in progress by many scientists and specialists to discover new species, study the mystery of our history, and develop new ways to improve the world. For example, the Remus 6000 helps improve the world by being a tool for research and helps to aid in other operations that occur underwater. The Northrop Grumman Remotec Andros is an important robot that can help to improve the world by being designed for military, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), and law enforcement or SWAT…

Dreams have been the topic of discussion for hundreds of years, yet the answer for why we dream and what they mean has yet to be answered. Dreams are a series of vivid images that occur during the REM stage of sleep. Many scientists have tried to explain the meaning of dreams with theories. Per Sigmund Fraud, our dreams are a way of playing out our wishes that we might not think of consciously. This theory is made up of two parts manifest content, which is the actual dream itself and how it is…

She requests this of her manager and is told no but if she found someone to switch her shift with this this would be fine. At first, no one she asked would switch. Silkwood is heard saying after an alarm went off that if the tests (alarms) were real, then she could have the time off. At the last minute, a fellow worker agrees to switch shifts. Upon her return to work, Silkwood learns of a contamination occurred while she was away. Silkwood is blamed and told that…

Guns have been a part of our culture since the very birth of our nation. They have been used in a variety of ways for hunting, sport, war, and protection. It became the social norm to have at least one stored away in most households. However, over time the tool that was once used for self-defense and as a last resort has now been turned into a weapon of mass destruction. Some might argue for the removal of guns from homes altogether. I on the other hand, have no doubt that guns themselves are…

is being very selfish here. “And Edward Hyde alone, in the ranks of mankind, was pure evil” (45). He knows hyde is evil, and this should trigger an alarm but he is too fascinated with his work to even think about that too deeply. He sometimes ponders that issue, but never considers it a big deal. There are physical traits that should set off alarms about Hyde and changing into him, but that simple relief is too much to not bear. Hyde is his drug and he is…

violence is another one that sounds worse than cyberbullying. Harassment is a way of violence in which students use to make others fear them. There is always a threat to a school; it could be a violence or a bomb attack. Recently last year there was an alarm that left all the community with questions. The reason was that a kid of only 13 years old kill his mom. The homicide is still under investigation. This was on August 31, 2015, and their ethnic race is Hispanic. It’s crazy how he posted on…

A Haunting in the Empty Corridor Long, long in the future, on the International Space Station there lived an astronomical physicist named Astatine. Her days consisted of calculations, food, and zero gravity. One day as she was observing the stars, she saw one moving rapidly towards her. She roughly calculated its speed at ten times the speed of light. “What could it be?” she thought. At its distance and speed, it would reach the ISS in about ten minutes. She hit the giant red button next…
