Chapter 1
He saw this coming and he didn't know how to stop it. He peeked around the corner of the door and saw it walking to his door. The room was dark and there was a hum of everything shutting down. A face illuminated in the doorway of the small room he was in. He knew in his heart it was too late.
It all began when he was walking home one night. A piece of paper flew through the wind and into his face. He was in need of a job and could not find openings. The paper said something about a Freddy Fazbear's pizza. He had heard stories of the place and his family avoided it. He never went there much as a kid and always looked inside of the glass doorway at the animatronics performing. His mother would notice and pull him away from the doors.
He considered taking the job and called the number on the front. The person on the other side of the phone sounded anxious and hired him on the spot. He was excited and ran to the restaurant, which was just up the road from where he was walking.
He approached the building and walked in. He felt uneasy for some reason. His entire body was shaking.
"Hello?" He called out.
He saw the stage. There were three animals standing there. They looked very creepy and eerie in the darkness. He noticed that everywhere he moved, their eyes would follow it seemed. Someone walked up behind him and tapped his shoulder. He jumped and almost had a heart attack.
"You must be the fella who called." The strange man inferred. "I am the manager of this place. These animatronics look menacing, but they are quite harmless. They are bolted to the floor."
The manager pointed out the area where they were attached. The man breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let me show you your office." He said. "It is just down this hallway."
The manager seemed strange to him. His voice was eerie and dark almost. The man shivered and passed it off as misjudgment.
There was a giant doorway. Inside was a desk with a fan on it. On the other side, there was another giant doorway.
"These buttons open and close the doors." He hit the button and the door closed. The man, who was now the guard, stared in awe. "These buttons underneath control the lights." Again he pushed the button. The hallway lit up.
He walked over and picked up a device with may screens on it.
"This is how you monitor everything in the restaurant that goes on." He continued. "We want to make sure no one is sneaking in and nothing is sneaking out."
The guard thought he was joking, but the manger had a rather serious look on his face. He covered it with a smile and walked out the door.
"I cannot hang around here all night." He said. "Good night and see you tomorrow…maybe."
The guard sat down and looked at the cams.
"Everything will be alright." He assured himself. He put on a smile of confidence and flipped through the cams.
To be continued…
