Chapter 1

It was 9pm, and I was home alone. The dim light from the old oil lamp was my only source of electricity, as it was a thunderstorm and the power was out. I was playing Five Nights at Freddy's, although I was sure that it would give me a fresh batch of nightmares. I was on night 3, which was further than I've gotten in a while, when I heard a bang. It was not from the game- it was from outside. I paused it and walked over to the window. There was nothing in the yard, and nothing that I could see in the garage. It must have been Polly, our cat. I sighed. I really did wish that my life wasn't so boring. My mom was single and worked for the fashion school in New Orleans, Academy of Art University. I lived in Nebraska. She always said, "I would be with you if I could, but work is more important." She hasn't come to visit in 5 months, and this isn't even much time compared to how long she's been gone before. I heard another crash, but this, time it was from the game. Shoot. I was killed by Nightmarrione. My elbow had bumped my laptop, causing the game to unpause. I had lost my streak of wins, but I could easily start over- it's not like anybody's going to tell me to stop. Just as I clicked on GO to restart, a sudden jolt threw me off my feet and onto the hard laminate floor. I gasped. The world was spinning around me, and I couldn't see anything. Was it an earthquake? No. This wasn't a shaking- this was a spinning sensation. When the world suddenly came into focus, I was lying on a stone checkered floor, with a mask lying beside me. I knew at once where I was. I was inside Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Shop. Maybe this was a dream. I pinched myself hard, but nothing happened. A deafening "yuk yuk!" startled me. I recognized the jolly voice immediately- it was the voice of Freddy Fazbear. I laughed. Maybe this was fake. Maybe this was a surprise from my mom or something. I decided to play along, just for the fun of it. "Hey Freddy!" I called, "Where are you?". "Are you ready for Freddy?" came the echoing answer. "Yeah, sure" I said, rolling my eyes. This was such a dumb prank. How old did my mother think I was? This was a stupid idea, and there was no way I was falling for it. I heard Freddy's voice coming down the right vent. I clicked the desk fan to off, because, if for some reason this was so accurate that you had to save power, I wanted to do so. As I looked around, I saw that there was a tiny slip of paper in my hand. It had not been there before. It had tiny markings on it, and said:
