Night guard on-duty

First day on the job

"They accepted me? Out of all the other people, they chose me?" I FINALLY found a job. I got rejected from the other ones because there was always someone who was better than me. "Don't be so surprised. Everyone else was probably either to young or complete failures in life." That was my  sister, Daniella. "As if you're not." I shot back at her. "Don't be proud of your new job." She went on, "It's nothing to be proud of. You work at a pizzeria full of screaming children and creepy animatronics. Though I have to say, it's PERFECT for you!" She gets really annoying sometimes. "I don't care what you say, because after my interview, they wanted me to start today. In fact, I have to go." I stated, looking at the clock. I went out of the door of my house. But, there was one problem. I didn't have to start until 4:00.

There it was. Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. My new job. I can't wait to get started.
I opened the doors, only to be welcomed by thousands of screaming children. I was startled. The restaurant didn't seem this bad on the outside. I looked around. I saw some posters that had various pictures of animals that have words on them. The eyes of one in particular seemed to be staring into my soul. I looked some more, hoping to find my employer. I looked over at register. A tall, skinny man was taking a woman's order."Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's pizza, were fantasy and fun come together. May I take your order?" He seemed busy, so I looked for someone else. I spotted a red haired lady clearing a table. I made my way over there, unnerved by the animatronic animals. I was a little nervous, and I guess I stuttered a little. "Uh, e-excuse me, ma'am. I-I was wondering if y-you could tell me who the m-manager is here?" "God, you sound like phone guy." She responded. She turned around. "Your here for the job, right?" I nodded. "The manager, David, isn't here right now, but you can always talk to phone guy over there." She motioned over to the register. I thanked her, and walked over to where phone guy was. On my way there, I noticed some children were clustered around what looked like a smaller version of the show stage, only with purple curtains. The kids seemed disappointed about something. I saw a sign, which had the words, "Sorry, out of order." It was probably some worn-down attraction that was closed because it fell apart. I turned and kept walking. I reached the register. "Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's pizza, where fantasy and fun come together. May I take your order?" "A-actually, I'm here for the job." I stammered. "Oh, you must be the new employee. Derick, is it?" He said. "You can call me phone guy." He looked at the kids by the purple curtains, "I wish those kids would get away from there. That thing behind the curtains gets extremely twitchy at times, and I'm afraid somethings going to happen again..." He shook his head and looked back at me. "Anyway, you could get started by clearing of all the empty tables over by the bathrooms." I nodded, and walked over to the table nearest to the bathrooms. It was very dimly lit. I could barely tell which was the lady's room, and which was the men's room. I cleared of the tables, then went back to phone guy. He seemed lost in thought. I waved my hand in front of his face. He stayed still, but only for a couple of seconds before he blinked. Then he was back. I smiled. "Do you know how embarrassing that would have been if I was a customer?" I asked, regretting what I had just said. He just smiled. "Yeah, it would've. Thank god you're not one. Now, you can go clean the men's room." "Okay." I said, and then I walked to the bathrooms. It wasn't that bad. There was some toilet paper on the floor, but that wouldn't hurt anybody. I went back to phone guy. "It's already clean." I stated. "I figured. It's been a slow day." He told me. "Really?" I looked at all the children. "Doesn't look like it." "Oh, trust me, it IS a slow day. You should come here on Saturday. That's when it gets really chaotic." I thought about what it was like on Saturday. Phone guy was right. It's probably worse on a weekend. I looked at the purple curtains. The children who were crowded by it were now gone. "Why's the curtain closed?" I asked. "Well, one time, when I was working, there was a kid hanging around the attraction. There is another animatronic behind that curtain, and his name is Foxy. It was an attraction meant mostly for toddlers, but the other kids seemed to like it too. It was supposed to be a pirate fox that would pop out of the curtains on the stage - which is called Pirates' Cove - every half hour. The kid was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was hanging on the curtains, waiting for Foxy to come out, and, sure enough, Foxy came out. The kid was caught by surprise, and he fell. His head landed in Foxy's mouth, and then Foxy bit down. Hard." I shivered. "W-was he alright?" I asked nervously. "Yeah, but his brain was missing a big piece." He shifted from one side. "It's amazing how the human body can live without the frontal lobe." I stared at him blankly. "W-well. Have any of the other animatronics attempted murder before?" My voice shook. "Well, I don't want to scare anyone..." He looked at the clock on the wall. "I'll tell you about the other animatronics tomorrow. Your shift's over." I nodded, and walked out of the restaurant. When I was out, I shook myself. I was working in a pizzeria with a murderous, robotic, pirate fox. I shook my head, then headed home.

When I got home, I was greater by my mom. "Hi, honey! How was your new job?" She asked "It was... interesting." I responded. I saw my sister studying her science book. I noticed it was about the human body. "Hey, Dani, do you know what the frontal lobe is?" I asked. "Yeah, it's the part of the brain that holds your emotions. Why'd you ask." I shivered, remembering what phone guy told me. "N-no reason."
