Lurking Nightmares

Advice to Survive

November 21st, 2016

Preparing myself up for my first job as security guard or night guard made me quite nervous I mean why is there a large door in the doorway? What's that all about?  I had no idea amd not even Mr. Brinks would tell me, whatever the rwason I doubt it's a good one. Finally I dressed myself in my blue security guard uniform with a name tag spelling my name on it as well as a hat saying Security across it made me look like the top of authority but I'm not. Heading to the office I walk past the stage but quickly stop to glance over at the animatronics, they seemed fine so I continued on til I made it towards the office and sat down in the wheely chair and checked the time to notice it was already 12 AM so my shift has begun I turn on the tablet and flick through the cameras to make sure everything is in order when the phone suddenly rang. I put down the tablet confused as to why anyone would call at this our but before I could answer someone left a message for me instead. "Uh...um..hello? Well hi welcome to your first night as the security guard at Ellie's Diner and Arcade now I'm just leaving you a message on what to do and what not to do at this job" I titled my head slightly setting my hands under my chin while my elbows balanced my head on them as I listened "So first thing's first be sure not to waste too much power or there will be some issues."

"There's also that very large door in case your wondering it's there to block out any um...unexpected visitors now don't close it for to long cause well you know, anyway make sure to check the cameras as well as the animatronics cause they tend to roam about the diner and halls probably looking for any people near by such as yourself." My exppression became blank and I was like seriously these things come to life? That's impossible but I ignored the thought and continued listening. "But don't worry if they get to close just shut the door and check the outside window to make sure they've left and open the door back up now as for the vents if they tend to crawl about in there towards you just seal them and you may or may not be fine so yeah also the buttons do jam up sometimes so you'll probably have a hard time closing the door so I'd try not using them to often."

I look around and notice it's already 5 AM listening to this advice wasted 4 hours of my first shift but it wasn't too bad "So yeah that's about it, have a good night and I'll call you tomorrow seeya." Right as he hung up the 6AM alarm goes off before I could even do anything "Well this night was easy, I wonder if the other nights are like this?" I laughed grabbing my things and heading out the door but as I headed toward the exit I saw something spelled out in red on the wall it said "Regrets" it spooked me and one blink the words were gone like it was never there. Just being in this place gave me the creeps and quickly I ran out towards my car then drove off from the place but I knew tomorrow would be another day.
