Alex walked towards the double door to unlock since he's the only one working the night on the animatronic to refinish some of the endoskeleton since there was a competition complaint about the animatronic movement was misleading and not according to the program.

By that time, he walked into the main office to get access to the control room.

There was an awakening where animatronics and technology intertwined. This was Alex's first night as an animatronic endoskeleton engineer. He was hired to work at a restaurant called JR's, which was known for its state-of-the-art animatronics company and family-friendly atmosphere. Although Alex was excited about his new position, he was also a bit apprehensive as it was his first-yet second time working the night shift at the restaurant.

As an animatronic endoskeleton engineer, Alex's job was to ensure that the animatronics at JR's were functioning properly, maintaining their movements, and addressing any technical issues that arose. On his first night shift, Alex arrived at the restaurant, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness as he stepped into the dimly lit building.
The usual lively and bustling atmosphere of the restaurant during the day had been replaced by an eerie stillness, accentuated by the faint hum of the animatronics in the background.

As Alex delved into his work, he started to notice strange occurrences with the animatronics. Their movements seemed erratic, and at times, they appeared to be behaving independently of their programming. Initially, Alex brushed off these incidents as technical glitches, but as the night progressed, the situation escalated into something far more sinister.

Amidst the flickering lights and the faint echoes of children's laughter from the animatronics, Alex began to feel an overwhelming sense of unease. He couldn't shake off the feeling that he was being watched, and every creak and groan of the building sent shivers down his spine.

The animatronics, which were supposed to be entertaining and friendly, now seemed to have an unsettling aura around them.

As the night wore on, Alex's apprehension turned into sheer terror when the animatronics started to malfunction in a truly frightening manner.
Their once cheerful faces contorted into grotesque expressions, and their movements became jerky and erratic. It was as if they had come to life with a malevolent intent, their mechanical forms now exuding an eerie sentience that filled Alex with dread.

Alex said. (What the HELL.)
His thought of what he saw was almost impossible for the robotic parts to move.

In a desperate bid to survive the night, Alex frantically tried to contain the malfunctioning animatronics, using his engineering skills to override their systems and prevent any further chaos. The restaurant, once a place of joy and laughter, had transformed into a nightmarish battleground where Alex struggled to evade the relentless pursuit of the possessed animatronics.

Alex's nerves were pushed to the brink, and he found himself facing a harrowing ordeal unlike anything he had ever experienced. With each passing moment, he fought to keep his composure and his wits about him, knowing that his very survival depended on outmaneuvering the nightmarish animatronics until the break of dawn.

From that night onward, Alex carried the weight of his traumatic encounter with the animatronics, haunted by the chilling memories of the night shift at JR's. It was an experience that would stay with him, a reminder of the thin line between technology and terror, and the unnerving reality of facing the unknown in the dead of night.

The animatronic endoskeleton engineer serves as a cautionary tale, a chilling reminder that even the most innocuous of places can harbor unspeakable horrors, (June 23, 1981).

Finally, as the first light of day began to seep through the windows, Alex emerged from the nightmarish trials of JR's restaurant, his body and mind exhausted from the relentless struggle. He had barely survived the terrifying ordeal, but the harrowing experience had left an indelible mark on him.
