The New Job

New day||Prologue

You wake up to a noisy alarm blaring in your right ear. You grumble, as you turn over and slam on the button to shut the noise up. You stand up, looking outside. It is still pitch black, it is only 5am. You get ready for work, a nice purple uniform. You pick up your makeup supplies, making sure you look good. You may be about to face a bunch of kids during your 12 hour day shift, though you still would like to look nice.

Soon you grab your hat with the label of "Bon's Burgers Security" on it. You put it on, grabbing your badge and clipping it to your bright purple t-shirt. You put on long, black, fingerless gloves. Soon you grab you name tag, clipping it to the left side under your Bon Badge. You grab your car keys, and quickly walk out of your apartment complex. You are a good hour away from the mall center, where your job is located. You drive through the "large" town. Soon it is 6:40am, and you are driving through the woods slowly arriving. You enter through the back, and park your vehicle in the back of the parking lot. You walk in, to meet the night guard. He looks young, around 13-15.

You shrug at his appearance.

"I got this from here, you go home kiddo, get some rest. You need it."

You look down at the boy, as he nods. He thanks you for showing up early, and he quickly leaves. You soon start to turn on all the lights inside of the building. You walk to the back, opening the parts and service repair room. You walk in to the dimly lit room, as you see scrambled robot parts. You shrug, flicking the light switch.

You walk to the basement door, flinging it open. You can't help but retch, and gag at a the horrid smell that hits your nose. You turn on your flashlight, as you walk down to hit the power generator. Soon you head back up the stairs, taking one last look around the basement before spotting something. You're disgusted, as you see a molded body. You quickly shut and lock the door, as you rush out of the parts and service repair room.

You go throughout your day, helping lost kids, playing with children, and making sure the robots are in proper working order. The visual of the body still in the back of your mind, though you try to calm yourself by telling yourself it was just your hallucinations due to lack of sleep. You sigh, as it has been 5 hours. Children are still screaming, laughing, and begging for free prizes.

A couple hours later and your shift is over. You start to close up, and leave some lights on for the night guard. You smile, as you start to walk outside. You soon realize you haven't turned the generator off. You quickly rush to the Parts and Service Repair. You fling the door open, gagging much more at the retched smell. It almost seems worse this time. You continue to walk down the stairs, turning the backup generator off for the night. You turn around, as you see eyes glowing in the dark.

You walk over to them, your flashlight flickering the closer you get. You soon move the light, as you see a large robot standing before you. Smiling, bloody, the horrid smell reeks on this. You can't tell if it's rusted metal or dried blood, though it smells horrible. You gag, but soon you feel a tight grip around your arms. You scream for help, though no one hears you.
