"Gregory! Gregory? Are you there? I got your message."

I can't believe I'm back here just for him. The Pizzaplex is destroyed.. it's almost sad to look at. I remember having all of my fun birthday memories here, and now I'd never come back if my dumb best friend didn't get lost in here. How does that even happen?

"I don't get it, why would Gregory tell me to come to this old place and then not be here?"

I climbed down the ladder to get inside. The atrium-where moms used to buy their child's entry tickets and eat pizza before going into the gifts shops, it's all demolished. There's a big sign that reads, "Pardon our mess we'll be back soon!" Yeah right. This place looks like it could takes years to get back into shape.

   "Maybe I should get a better look somewhere

"Maybe I should get a better look somewhere."

I can't even walk through the main gates anymore, there's a huge sinkhole where they used to be. Graffiti everywhere. "Don't go in alone..?" I wonder who wrote all this

Even towards the parking garage the flooring has caved in, creating massive destruction throughout the entire entrance. "There's no way I'm going in there without a flashlight." The light from outside can only reach a few feet from the entry doors. I looked around, the walls are covered in colorful drawings and messages. Who else would've been in here? None of this makes sense, I don't even know how Gregory got trapped in here in the first place.

I walked towards where I used to get my complimentary entry passes for my birthdays years ago. Roxy was always my favorite. I booked her for my parties every single time.

The graffiti on the walls read "I miss Fizzy Faz" and "forever" as well as drawings of pizzas and creatures with eyes that are hard to make out. Creepy. Luckily for me there was a flashlight an old staff bot was holding. It looks like he was thrown into the entry pass sign. But it was still.. moving? The bot was glitching slightly, as if it had just recently been dismantled.

I took the flashlight and headed deeper into the atrium. The entire Freddy stature that was the first thing guests saw as they came here was torn down. That thing had to be at least 50 feet tall. Wonder what could knock something like that down? Danger written on the walls, the gate to the old Glamrock gift shop was strained open so I could easily get through. The gift shop was so..abandoned. The shelves were empty with only one Roxanne Wolf sweatshirt hanging on the clothing rack. A huge tv was short circuiting by the stair case, the only one I could access to get to the upper part of the gift shop.

Upstairs was just as bad as the first floor. Everything was blocked off and you could've even see through the windows. Watch your step. Another abandoned security bot. I've only ever really seen them when the Pizzaplex is about to close, or sometimes in areas kids aren't supposed to be in. Way creepier like this though. I tried to ease my way past it when suddenly it's alarm sounded. No the normal sound they make but this one sounded broken. Almost immediately it powered down and remained lifeless no longer detecting me.

I spent the night here and lived.
"Who's writing all of this.."
They're still here.

"AH" Something reached out of the Daycare entrance knocking over the the wood bars barricading the door shut from the outside. Is something else here with me? I just shook it off, this place was such a mess things are probably falling all over the place.

"Can you hear me?? Over here! Is someone there? Help! Can you hear me?"

"Gregory?!!" "Are you here?!"

My head jolted in the direction of his voice, suddenly coming from the elevators that lead into the main atrium. Boxes upon boxes and more debris were in my way. I made my way towards his voice. "Gregory I'm here!" I yelled searching for his familiar figure. "oh." On the floor was a small device with his voice calling out from it. He wasn't here. I grabbed it anyways, a walkie-talkie of my favorite character.

   "Gregory? I got your message! Where are you?"

"Gregory? I got your message! Where are you?"

"Help!! Something grabbed me! It wont let me go! You have to find me I'm trapped in the sinkhole under the raceway!!"

"Under Roxy Racers? That's all the way on the other side. I'm not even close."

My heart sunk. How was he stuck so deep into this nightmare? I looked in front of me, a hole where the elevator once was, all the wires were hanging down covered in missing parts of the building and dust. There was a ladder on my left. How convenient. I turned around taking one last look of the atrium. The bridge once leading to the restaurant was knocked to the ground and nearly everything was destroyed. The only thing remaining in tact were the tall metal palm trees that I always loved. They reminded me of Foxy's Pirate Cove. An eerie feeling washed over me, I could barely see the windows to the outside as they were covered in missing posters and newspaper. It was still light outside. For now.

With no other option I climbed inside the doorway the broken elevator made and started my way up the ladder. Metal pieces came crashing down nearly taking my life away. My heart kept racing as I climbed, honestly I'm not sure where I was even headed. At the top of the ladder was a vent opening. Perfect. Lucky me who doesn't love climbing into scary vents. I really had no other choice. I managed to catch my breath and look down at how far I had climbed up. That had to be a good few floors up. There were massive holes and wires sparking in every direction I looked a small screeching sound echoed in the distance and I was completely surrounded by darkness.

Wow... I thought to myself.
This place really is in ruins.
