The room was quiet, the only sound being the faint hum of the security cameras flickering on the monitors. Another night shift at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, and once again, you found yourself alone in the dark, oppressive silence of the security office. The cold air filled the space, and the clock seemed to drag each minute out longer than the last.
You had long grown used to the eerie sounds, the strange mechanical movements of the animatronics that always seemed to come to life in the dead of night. But tonight, something was different. The heavy atmosphere felt almost suffocating, and you couldnβt shake the feeling that someoneβsomethingβwas watching you.
Your eyes drifted to the monitors, scanning through the cameras of each room. Everything appeared normalβ¦ at first. Then, a shift in one of the hallways caught your attention. There, just at the corner of the frame, you saw itβThe Puppet.
It stood motionless, its thin, tall figure casting a long shadow. The Puppet, or Marionette as it was sometimes called, rarely made any movement unless it was activated by a specific trigger. But this time, it wasnβt moving. It just... stood there. Watching you. The blank, expressionless face of the mask, with its dark eyes and empty expression, unnerved you more than anything else.
The clock on the wall ticked louder, the seconds stretching as you stared at the screen. You held your breath. The Puppetβs gaze was unsettling, as if it were studying you from afar, waiting. You couldnβt help but wonder if it was just part of the animatronics' programmingβor if there was something more to it. Something deeper.
