This is Unnerving…
We all have a story about something that’s unnerving, and I’m here to share those stories. So, without further ado, let’s get into it.

I went to my friend’s 17th birthday party last month, and I’m really struggling to deal with it. I haven’t been able to sleep properly since it happened, and not even the sleeping pills from the doctor is helping.
Caleb threw a big party at our local Dominos for his birthday. Him and his parents really went all out by booking out the entire Dominos for the night, plus it was a themed party. The theme was “Five Nights at Freddy’s”, and we had a blast picking out and preparing what we were going to wear. I decided to go a different direction than my friends and picked out the night security guard costume. It was obviously a lot cheaper as well. For anyone who doesn’t know the game; you are a night security guard who has to survive the night while a bunch of animatronics try to kill you. On the night of the party, I got to Dominos at around 9pm, said hi to all my friends, and got something to drink. After a lot of dancing, party games, bad karaoke, and pizza, I saw Caleb’s mom waving me over. She asked me if I could bring out the cake since I was the only night security guard there, and she thought that it would be funny. Sure, no problem. It was nearly midnight, which is the time in the game that the animatronics start coming alive and hunting you down. I headed to the kitchen to go get ready.
I was looking down at my phone on my way into the kitchen, and I bumped into something much bigger than myself. I looked up to see that it was someone in a Freddy Fazbear costume. I was confused, because we all decided Caleb would be the only one in the main character costume. The reason why I was confused was because I saw Caleb dancing outside with the head of the costume laying on a table. I realized this couldn’t possibly be Caleb. Then I heard the theme song starting to play, which was my cue to come out with the cake. But instead, the Freddy in front of me jerked forward in an oddly mechanical way, knocking me to the ground. With those same mechanical jerking movements, he raised his arm and revealed a machete. The kind you see in movies where they go slashing through the jungle. I started screaming and scrambled backwards to the back kitchen door. He slowly advanced towards me, making sickening jabbing motions.
Caleb’s mom came in, saw what was happening, let out a scream, and the imposter turned around jerkily to look at her before dropping the machete and bolting past me and out the back door. We called the police, but they never found a trace of this person. They said it was probably some psycho trying to scare us, but I think he had much more than that on his mind. What’s scaring me is that he knew about the party, went as far as to get a costume, and was apparently waiting in the kitchen to ambush us. So what else does he know? And where is he now?
