Talk:Autopilot/@comment-29269864-20160724175459

 Goddamn I love this story. It has a few holes (why does running on autopilot make him forget to drop off his daughter? The way he talks about getting her into the car on the way to work and the mention of numerous late fees gives the impression that getting Emily to nursery is a part of his routine, so I don't really understand how she gets missed) and the ending is predi  c   table but those things are eclipsed by the sense of dread that simmers in the background even before you realise what's going on and builds relentlessly through to   a completely unforgiving conclusion.

 This is one of only a handful of pastas that have stuck with me long   after finishing it (literally every time I realise I've forgotten to do something obvious “autopilot disengaged” is the first thought I have). Very cool idea paired with an amazing execution, 9/10.
