His life prior to stepping within 124’s walls was one where he was unable to be still, where he shut off the part of him that pondered and instead ran on autopilot, literally ran - from state to state, women to women, life to life, never staying long enough to let his reality register. When he arrives at 124 he takes this disquiet with him, immediately throwing the house into chaos…

The alarm goes off at 8:15 AM like every morning. I roll out of bed, shower, slap on some sunscreen, put on my uniform, and head to work. Getting there, of course, is simple. I hop in the car, punch the button to start the engine, put the windows down to feel the summer breeze, plug in my phone to blast my go-to driving playlist, and I’m ready. Before I set off to lifeguard, a voice reminds me of what my grandma said when I first began driving, “I’m not afraid of you driving, I’m afraid of other…

nervously twiddle your thumbs as you try and quietly let the door shut. Alas, it is to no avail. Their eyes are upon you, these eyes already picking you apart. Desperately you wait for the teacher to tell you to sit down, something to keep your mind off the groups already deciding if you were worthy or not. Finally you find your seat, and you have a chance to get a good look at those around you. Clean, sharp looking young men and women dot the seats surrounding yours. They pass notes and chat…

window; my hands on autopilot, opening the cover. Again, the only objects visible are clouds, but this time, they are grey and ominous, ready to wreak havoc. A streak of lighting flashes, and the rumble of thunder rocks throughout the plane. I get the sick sense that something is about to go wrong. I try to force my thoughts on less dark matters, but I fail. With the crashes of lightning and booming thunder getting more intense, I am losing control of my mind and actions. I need to get off this…

Tesla models offer an “Autopilot” mode, a feature, which allows the driver to turn over some control to the car. Sensors allow the car to stay within its lane and slow down if a car ahead is driving at a slower speed. Tesla models also lead the electric car industry in range, an…

movement of people. It reminds her of the sea at high tide, when the waves are strong enough to knock you off your feet. At that moment Sarah is swept along, floating on the crest of the wave towards the train, bobbing along the platform buoyant with hope. Confusion, sadness and panic floating away with every wave she rides towards the train. Boarding the Grand Central train heading North on autopilot her head filled with anticipation and optimism. The train starts to move. The noise, the rapid…

The soft, green grass was sprinkled with shards of mirrored glass; the mirror had been through so much pressure after going through the force field three times. Kate could hear it shatter into a billion pieces when Mr. Jacks and his bulldog passed through the force field. Mr. Jacks looked relieved as if he were a bird let free and his bulldog just looked straight up tired. Kate started to feel her head pound because the adrenaline shooting through her body started to fizzle out and she hadn’t…

Eventually the consuming feeling of loneliness made me disappear under the layers of my scarf as my own beast grew. Everyday, it was suffocating me, the scarf that only tightened and grew as the moments went on. It hurt so much. I couldn’t take it off, as long as I was alone and terror-stricken, it tightened.
