You sigh. You've tried finding a new job, but once you sign up, the job was either taken or closed down. Why is finding a job so hard?! You think as you flip through the newspaper. In the middle of the section, you see a "HELP WANTED" sign. Finally! As you continued reading, the title caught your attention. "Freddy Fazbear's Pizza" You know that place. Some old pizza place down a block that was closing down. You think about it, but you chose to keep reading. "Family Pizzeria looking for security guard to work the nightshift. 12 AM to 6AM." That doesn't sound too bad, you guess. You don't have much things to do between those hours, besides sleeping. "Monitor cameras, ensure safety of equipment and animatronic characters" Easy peezy! Why would anyone try to damage an animatronic? "Not responsible for injury or dismemberment" WHAT?! INJURY OR DISMEMBERMENT?! WHO WOULD OFFER A JOB THAT CAUSES DISMEMBERMENT?! You pass that thought as you remember that you need a job to pay for your month's rent, or you'll be kicked out of your cozy apartment. "$120 a week" Not too bad, at least you can keep the owners off your butt for a while. "To apply, call 1-800-FAZ-FAZBEAR" You decide to take the job. Why the heck not? You circle the article with a red marker and go to sleep.
8:30 AM
The next morning, you take a shower and eat breakfast. Just some eggs and toast, not much. Shortly after, you grab your phone and call the number on the newspaper article.
"Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, how may I help you?" a man spoke with a happy voice over the sound of many kids' laughter.
"Uh..Hi! I'm looking for the security guard job at the pizza place" you say
The man goes silent. "Uh hello?" you ask
"Uh…l-look,..just come a-apply over h-here" said the main with a scared, shaky voice.
"Ok, see you there." you say. You don't know what's wrong with that man, but you shrug it off as you grab your coat and began walking to the pizza place.
9:00 AM
As you walk in the pizzeria, you hear many kids screaming and laughing. An average pizza place. You think to yourself as you walk to an employee.
"How may I help you?" the employee asked
"I would like a job as the security guard!"
The worker's face grows pale as she hears the words. "Not again…" she mutters
"Uh...are you ok ma'am?" you ask
"Y-yea I'm f-fine. I'll g-go get t-the manager for you" she says, shakily. You nod and she walks to the office. A couple minutes later, a man dressed in a suit walks over to you.
"Well hello there! You must be that young man who called on the phone this morning!" he said with a bright tone
"Yes sir!" you say
"What's your name?" he asks
"Mike Schimdt, sir" you answer
"You're hired! And please call me Josh" he said
"Really? No interview or anything?"
He ignores your question "Alright then, let's get on with the tour of this place." You nod as he began showing you the places. First, there's the dining hall, where the kids and their parents eat. Next, there's the back stage, where all the extra equipment are. Of course the restrooms, which are dirty and smelly. And lastly, there's the show stage, where the animatronics are. The purple bunny's name is Bonnie, the chicken's name is Chica, and of course the most popular animatronic, Freddy. There was another attraction, but the curtains are now closed and the sign says "Sorry, Out-of-Order" Supposedly something had happened there but Josh doesn't go further into it. By the time you're finished with the tour, it's 12:05 PM. You decide to go home and get some more rest to go to your job at midnight.
