Ready for Freddy?
CHAPTER 1
Penny could smell a waft of the mac n' cheese she made while he mother was at work, preparing to come home from her job at subway.
Penny trudged up the stairs, and placed her ear against her little brother' door. She could hear buttons rapidly being tapped, and the sound of 8-bit lasers and explosions every two seconds. Of course he was playing his video game instead of socializing with Penny.
She knocked on the door, and a second later entered and saw the mess that was her brother's room. Clothes and toys were strewn about, a half eaten ham sandwich was on his bed from lunch, and the cords that ran from the wall to the game console and TV were so tangled, it seemed like a ball of wires on the floor.
"Hey champ!" Penny said cheerfully as she carefully stepped over an armless Buzz Lightyear toy. No reply. "How many aliens are left captain?" she asked with a chuckle. Again, she got no answer.
Tension started building up on her brother's face, and the sound of lasers and buttons became more furious and rapid. Penny was beginning to get upset with him, but she couldn't let herself show it, after all, he was only nine years old, and she was sixteen!
"I think that's enough alien blasting for one night…" Penny said turning off the TV. "Hey! I was almost done!" he whined throwing his controller on the floor, and throwing himself on the bed face first. "You suck!" he said muffled by the bed.
Penny stood at the head of the bed, staring at her little brother, Jacob. Finally, she sat on the bed next to his living, but motionless body.
Penny just sat there, waiting for Jacob to calm down. Penny removed the sandwich from the bed and put it on his dresser.
After what seemed like forever, Jacob spoke, "why do you have to work to?" he asked quietly. "Well, um… how do I put this… uh, mommy needs me to get money from my workplace so that mommy can buy delicious food to keep us healthy." Penny said in a cheerful voice. "But mommy will be home before I leave, okay?" she said as she started rubbing Jacob's back.
It was true, she had a job… at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
