The Five Nights
By: Speeddemon448
Ugh. Mike opened his eyes. He opened his eyes and glanced over at his annoyingly loud alarm clock next to his bed. It read 12:40 PM. He had spent most of the day asleep, trying to recover from the long walk back from a job interview. Mike grunted while pulling his body out of his worn bed. After putting on a fresh pair of pants and a shirt, he headed into the kitchen, looking for something to eat. Upon finding nothing to eat, mike sighed. "Looks like no breakfast again. This will get old quick." Mike grumbled to himself. Because he was broke, the man didn't have nearly enough money to buy food, save pay the bills. Mike had actually resorted to selling some of his dead mother's possessions to pay the electricity bills. Coming back to reality, mike walked over to the door of his apartment and picked up the newspaper, and went inside. It was time to start the daily ritual of searching for a job. As mike was digging through the Help Wanted section of the newspaper, he came across a picture of Freddy Fazbear. With mike's interest aroused, he scanned the ad, making a few notes as he went. 'Local family diner seeks person to fill Nightgaurd position 12:00-6:00. Pays 120$'. Mike started to think about everything that he didn't like about the job. "All night without anything to do, giant creepy robots, 4$ an hour." Mike sighed. It was the only job he could find that looked reasonable, even if he didn't like it. "Well, beggars can't be choosers, so it's better than nothing." Mike came to a decision. He picked up his phone, dialed the number and talked to his future boss. After setting a time to come in for his interview, he hung up. Mike found a hairbrush, brushed his hair, put on some deodorant, and sighed. He still looked bad, but it's hard to take a shower when your water was cut last week. After getting an idea of where the restaurant was, he set out in his beat up Toyota Tacoma for the restaurant.
Once there, he noticed a separate parking lot for anybody who worked there. After parking the car, he got out and walked up to the doors. He was met with a crowd of kids and a very tired- looking clerk who he asked where his boss was. After mentioning that he was applying for the night guard position, the clerk's attitude changed drastically. It went from a very tired and annoyed look to one of pity and fear. The clerk directed him to the back of the main room where two long halls stood. He was about to go down the right one when he was met by a large guard. The guard informed him that he couldn't go back there. After explaining himself, the guard led him down the hall and knocked on the large door. The door opened with a slight clunk and revealed a man sitting in a small office wearing a pinstriped suit with a matching fedora. "Ah, you must be Mr. Schmidt I believe." The man said while shaking mike's hand. "Y-Yes I am. I'm here to apply for the night guard position." Mike responded. "Well congratulations! You're hired! Oh, and by the way, my name is James Hughes." James said, a little too enthusiastically. Mike at first couldn't respond to this. He had successfully landed the job! "Wait you're serious? Like legitimately serious?"The words tumbled out of mike's mouth before he could stop them. "You'd be right my boy! Your shift starts at 12 Monday. To help you out, I'll tell you what to do. You use this tablet to look at the cameras and protect the animatronics. It's that simple." Mike, now having recovered from the shock of landing the job, took this in. "Thank you Mr. Hughes!" After he thanked Mr. Hughes again, he left the restaurant with his uniform and a huge smile on his face. After driving home, he parked the Tacoma in the parking garage and climbed the stairs to his apartment, set his uniform down, grabbed his wallet, and promptly fell down the stairs to the garage. Now at the bottom, he sighed, thanking his lucky stars that no one had saw him, or heard him, especially not Jeremy or Fritz. After collecting anything he dropped, he climbed into the Tacoma yet again and went through the nearest drive thru to satisfy his hunger. After devouring the cheap burger and almost wanting to eat the bag too, mike drove home, satisfied. Now at home, he set his alarm for when he needed to wake up. He then spent the next hour thinking about how lucky he was to land the job, before he fell asleep.
