Ch 1

Prologue

Dan looked up at the colorful sign of the pizzeria with great discomfort. The sign was turned off, leaving the silhouettes of seven strange characters. He had been hired just two days ago to get a job as the night guard. The man at the phone had been a bit shaky when he said that Dan was the third person to work as the guard. Dan had read the news on the place. It was due to shut down by the end of the year. It said some guy named Jeremy had gotten severely injured.

Dan walked through the double doors and into a large room. The place looked fine to him. It just needed some cleaning up. He walked past darkened rooms to his office. He moved a bear mask from his chair and sat down. He looked around his room and all the oddities. There was a few wires and festive lights hanging from the ceiling, as well as some curiously open vents with large buttons on them. Dan pressed down on it and the lights hummed on.

Dan opened his desk drawer and pulled out a flashlight. It was fairly cheap for the sort of job he had. He pulled a large square screen off the desk and turned it on. It was a pretty advanced tablet. He began to surf through the cameras until he found the three he was supposed to watch: the bear, a doll like bunny, and a rather out of place chicken. He almost dropped the tablet when the phone rang.

"Uh, hello? Dan, welcome to your first night, I guess." It was the guy he talked to earlier. "You should know some things about your job before I continue." Dan listened intently.

"The animatronics are going to be scraped due to a few... bugs in the system." It sounded reasonable. "Mainly the last guard was moved to day shift and almost got killed by one." Dan looked at his tablet again with wide eyes. The bunny was gone.

"So uh, I suggest using he Freddy Fazbear head to, you now, hide when they get close to you." He said nervously. "Oh, and wind up the music box remotely in cam eleven, or you might not be here tomorrow." Dan sat there in his dimly lit office with the mask over his face, staring into the unblinking eyes of the bunny.
