Henry Stein, former animator for Joey Drew Studios, is invited back 30 years after leaving the company. Out of interest, he accepts, and heads for the abandoned studio in New York. Little did he know that now he's in for an adventure through Hell and back. But of course, there's one rule everyone knows and respects down there, even Henry. Beware the Ink Demon. {Book one of three from the Enter the Machine series} (Updates will be irregular- Sorry!)

A Bendy and The Ink Machine story! K, so this is my first time writing a story, some spelling and grammar mayyybe horrible ;-; sowwy SUMMARY: :3 Henry was testing new ink that joey gave him. He draws the familliar Devilish Black Toon on paper, he notices that the ink starts bubbling. He thinks is all in his head for his lack of sleep but then a ink blob come's out of the paper straight into the floor! This is definitely not in his head!

(Re-uploaded from AO3, re-RE-uploaded because I borked up the first chapter while updating and deleted to fix it!) While work has already begun on a Bendy-themed amusement park, Henry finds it a bit strange that his business partner still hasn't properly introduced him to the man behind all of the attractions. It becomes even more frustrating when the day he finally does decide that it would be a good idea, both are caught up in their own stubborn ways, hardly getting anything accomplished at all. But after hours, Drew isn't paying particular attention to who goes where, and who knows? Maybe the animator and the designer will hit it off.

Escaping the studio was his main priority when he saw the horrors that lurked. Every time he made progress, it would slip. Every time he made a friend, they were taken away. And even those who were his friends before had been turned against him in their madness. Now the nightmare was over. The loop has been broken. The spell came undone. But while Henry takes to helping those who escaped recover, he must now also come to knowing his own responsibilities. Even if they were dysfunctional Toons

Inspired heavily by YouTube channel: Hephaesty (Don't have to read this, because it's all on the first page of the story) What do you think would have happened if the Bendy and the Ink Machine timeline was moved up a few decades, what about if Henry Stein was actually a man of many names and has died multiple times already. Names perhaps like Chris and Michael Afton, Shadow Freddy and Nightmare, or how about Mike Schmidt, and Eggs Benedict, hell he's even been mistaken and called Ennard. Read as Henry and his brother Terrance Afton, as Nightmare Foxy, go about their lives from the bite of '83 to meeting Joey Drew and starting an animation studio. From making friends with his nightmares to when Henry receives a letter from Joey imploring him to come back to the studio. From having his insides being scooped out and having an animatronic exoskeleton inside of him to releasing his friends from being ink creatures. What would happen, do you think, if the former ink creatures find out, or what if one day Henry Stein's, or should I say Chris Afton's, family turns up randomly to the studio. What do you think would happen...?

I wrote this shortstory for a BatIMA challenge, it's short and sweet. The art in mine, please do not use it without my permission. The characters of this story are from "Bendy and the Ink Machine" and therefore belong to TheMeatly and Mike Mood.

Henry and Sammy have been working together since the start of the studio, growing closer by the day. When Joey Drew orders a strange machine to be built, things start to grow dangerous for the both of them and tensions start to rise.

Henry Stein was trapped in a loop. He'd lost track of how long, and was tired of doing the same thing over and over. He couldn't even bring himself to run from Bendy anymore Bendy was attracted to movement. He thought he knew every face in Joey Drew Studios, yet when that man refused to run, Bendy saw his face clearly for the first time. Why didn't he recognize the man? Who was he? In a place where some were human and others were ink, the doors will open, and the loop will change.
