Look, I didn't come back for closure. Or redemption. Or because I missed the smell of existential grease fires and malfunctioning mascots. I came back because some places don't let you leave-especially when you still owe them something.
This is my log. My night shift journal. My emotionally unstable guidebook to surviving the world's worst pizza graveyard.
Inside: haunted arcade machines, animatronics with boundary issues, memories I didn't ask for, and a very sarcastic chair. Also? My deadbeat dad might've built half of it.
Geat.
If you're looking for a hero's journey, look elsewhere. I'm just here to survive, maybe remember less, and argue with ghosts that know my name.
(Spoiler: they're winning.)

A New Feeling
Machines cannot have feelings. They're not conscious beings, they're empty and coded vessels at most... And yet, we refer to ourselves as "a ghost in a machine" So, what really makes a machine? **This is the prequel of my series (you should totally read, starting with "Starshine"). You can read this no matter how far you are in the series. This is a story centered around fronnie, it references the dead children and possession, however !! the relationships and characters of the animatronics are not connected to the children in anyway, and there is clear isolation between them !! Art and stories by me, characters belong to Scott Cawthon/Steel Wool Studios**Complete

Five Nights at Freddy's | Shadows Of The Past
Hey everyone- It's been a long time, but I'm finally back-and I've got something new that means a lot to me. This book kicks off a series I've been wanting to write for years. It follows Mike Schmidt, the night guard at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, as he takes on the graveyard shift in one of the most haunted places in gaming history. But this isn't just about surviving animatronics or checking cameras. Mike's got a personal reason for being there. He's trying to uncover the truth behind the five missing children-and figure out what role his own father might've played in it. Each chapter dives deep into the tension and mystery of the night shift. I've broken every night down into ten-minute intervals-so instead of just saying "Night 1," you'll experience it minute by minute. You'll see the phrase "by the end of the ten minutes..." throughout the book. That's not just a stylistic choice-it's how I track the slow build of fear, the unraveling of clues, and the emotional toll this job takes on Mike. Every ten minutes matters. Every flicker of the lights, every footstep in the hallway, every moment of silence-it all adds up. This isn't just a retelling of the games. It's a reimagining. I'm taking you through FNAF 1 all the way to FNAF 6, with each book expanding the lore, deepening the emotional stakes, and connecting the dots in ways that feel personal and grounded. You'll see familiar characters, but through Mike's eyes. You'll feel the weight of the mystery, the paranoia, and the legacy he's trying to escape-or maybe confront. If you've ever wanted to live through the nights at Freddy's-not just play them-this series is for you. It's gritty, emotional, and built to honor the tension and storytelling that made FNAF iconic. Thanks for sticking with me. I hope this story pulls you in-and doesn't let go. -Dillon
