Life isn't easy where I live.
No jobs available, so I just looked into the most recent newspaper.
'Fazbear's Fright: The Horror Attraction'.
I stared at the newspaper. 'Fazbear'? I remember that name. I remember the times my father told me about 'Freddy Fazbear's Pizza'. An old pizzeria, that found its start in like the 70s and ended in the 90s, really a short timespan. I continued reading - 'Local amusement park is getting ready to scare your socks off with a new attraction based on the unsolved mysteries of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza'.
So it really has to do with Freddy Fazbear's Pizza...
Now I've taken a look next to the text - there was a picture, it looked like a spare head of Freddy Fazbear himself!
My father told me about how the pizzeria gave the smallest loan a restaurant could.
Well, I can believe him.
First, he's my father and second, I think I can believe a former nightguard.
I took my stuff and called the guy who put that article up.
That guy sounded cool and calm, I pretty much enjoyed the call. He said his name was... I didn't really understand... Stan Cawthrone? He said his fathers name was Scott and that his father was a former nightguard there. He also told me that his father just disappeared without a trace. I started to feel very sorry for him. But he said it was okay and that he needed no compassion or
anything like that.
"I'll tell ya more 'bout the job later, 'k? Your shift starts at 12 AM and ends at 6 AM. We're just tryin' to be a bit oldschool with the time, haha."
I started laughing and told him that he's right. He said goodbye with a small 'cya' and ended the call.
The first thing I did after that call, was going to my father and having a talk about the job.
"And, you are sure about that job?", was the first question my father asked after I've told him about the call.
I've just answered with a short "Very sure".
"You told me that this Stan's father disappeared without a trace. I think, I might've known his father.
"What, really?!" - I was really excited when my father said that.
"Yep, I've known Scott. Maybe not personally, but I've heard about him. At the time I've worked at the place, his job was to 'recruit' new nightguards and to teach them what to do. The people at the company simply called him the 'Phone Guy'."
"Wow, that sounds interesting! ...But... what happened to him?" - I really wanted to know more.
"It... was the 4th night of my shift... I can barely remember what he said. I have to say, basically he was already dead. As I was able to hear, his left door was closed as Foxy banged on the door, I heard Freddy's signature song, the Toreador March, I heard Chica and Bonnie moaning. He basically already lost. But the most interesting thing... at the end of the call... I heard a scream. Not a death scream. It was... the scream of an animatronic. But I've never heard that scream before. It was loud and deap, unlike the other animatronics' screams. I was really scared. But I have to say, his calmness really reassured me. Though his fate was without any doubt the death, he kept a cool head."
I was so impressed. I was a bit scared, but still impressed. I almost thought about giving up the job. But I didn't want to. I needed a job, no matter if minimum wage or not. Already 9 PM. I should lay myself a bit down til it's like 11:30 PM.
