The Graveyard Shift [Jeremike]

Chapter 4: It tolls for thee

The bear sung his song but it didn't matter to Mike because just as the animatronic reached out to grab him he was saved by the '6:00 A.M' bell that went off. As he left he held his head in his hands feeling as though it was on fire...whatever had taken over him had been rough with his body and had weakened him.

Stumbling into his shared apartment with his girlfriend Doll he collapsed onto the couch. "Morning Doll..." He called but no response came. 'That's right....Doll is at work now....' He thought frowning. Mike was alone for the remainder of the morning as he rested his aching body...why had the animatronics been so rowdy last night? It wasn't like them to do that.....

He shrugged it off and went down to the restaurant to collect his things. "Ah Mike, glad you're here. We're going to pay you in advance because we got the go ahead to start closing the old place down." His boss greeted happily. He nodded looking at the large crates that held the now packaged animatronics. He smirked and walked away from the building but as he did a wave of guilt washed over him. Was the next night guard going to be okay? Could they make it like he did? But he didn't have to worry right?

The new animatronics couldn't be killers to right? At least that's what he thought...
