those nights in Alex's (tnia)

Night/Day 3

As I  sat down in the office the phone started to ring, “hello? Hello hello? Hello again, so um there’s nothing new that concerns you. At the point where i’m recording these there’s going to be an investigation on friday because of some children that went missing today. So um try your best to survive,” he said over the phone before hanging up.

I started to flip through the cameras, the wolf was the only one on the main stage the bull was still on it’s stage and the lizard’s stage was still had it curtain closed. Then I looked for the cat, it was in the parts room, so I grabbed the reset box and  went to the parts room. As I stepped in I flipped the switch, waited it to sync, and ran back to the office.

Once I got back to the office I flipped through the cameras again, and found the bull was gone. Then I flipped through the cameras once again, it was in the party room then the curtain started to open. I ran over to the curtain and closed it. Next I looked at the party room camera, nothing was there. After that, I looked at the rest of the cameras, still nowhere to be seen. Finally, I checked the east and west halls, it was right there.

I turned off all of the lights as the music played and the bull walked in. I closed my eyes and waited to hear that familiar sound of metal banging against metal as the music danced around my ears. Then I heard the bull leave the room and I turned the lights back on, the music stopped playing. As I heard the 6 am bell, I was overcome with joy and yelled in victory when I saw the sun come up.

I saw the wolf start to twitch, so I set it into suit mode and I dragged it into the repair room. I peeled the head the head back until I heard that familiar click of the head locking in place, then I grabbed a toolbox and set it down next to the wolf on the table. I started to take it apart, whoever designed it was really resourceful and  I was completely concentrated until the wretched stench hit me like a rock. I tried my best to ignore the smell and continue to take the wolf apart, then I noticed a tuft of hair coming out of the torso.

I decided to take the front off of the animatronic and saw parts of a dead body entangled in the animatronic endoskeleton and I dropped my wrench. In that moment it dawned on me that I had been in a spring lock suit with a dead body and I started to feel sick but the feeling quickly went away, then I collected myself and picked up my wrench. I started to get hungry so I heated up a pizza and went back to the repair room.

Then I got the idea to take apart the others so I dragged the other three to the repair room and started to take them apart. The cat animatronic had a similar dead body entangled in the endoskeleton, the bull had a corpse curled up against the back of the inside of the suit, and the lizard had the only female dead body that was curled up against the side of the suit. I was shocked, I had always thought something about this was off, but nothing like this.

I stared at the dead bodies inside of the animatronics for a few moments before quickly getting back to work. I continued to take them apart until they were just parts on the laying on the ground and I thought of what I should do with the parts. Then something flashed in my mind, a memory.
