《The Night Shift (Mike Schmidt x Reader)》13. Dream
Advertisement
(Mike's POV)
(Y/N) had fallen asleep. In the pizzeria. The hell pizzeria. In retrospect, I should've woke her up. Dammit, stupid decision. Would've saved me a lot of trouble.
Anyway, I didn't really feel like going through the works of taking her to back to her house, so I ended up just carrying her to my apartment. I was close enough to work to walk, but I was way too lazy to go on foot. I laid her down on the couch and walked into the bedroom. Only then did I realize I had just carried a sleeping girl to my apartment. I put my head in my hands. Dammit, why'd I have to be so stupid? She'd wake up thinking she's been kidnapped or worse!
I changed into a pair of sweatpants and crawled under my covers, not bothering to take off my sweatshirt. Realizing that my coworker didn't have a blanket, I climbed out and found a (F/C) fleecie in my closet. I walked out to the other room and draped the blanket over (Y/N)'s sleeping form. She looked so much more peaceful when she was sleeping; she was usually either flustered from keeping the animatronics out, hyper when we just hung out together, or concentrating when she was watching one of her shows. All I could wonder was what was going on inside of that head of hers. I chuckled to myself and walked back to my decently sized bed, snuggling back under the covers. Damn, (Y/N) was cute.
(Dreaming)
I was falling. Of course. I'd had this dream a million times before. When I did sleep, this was pretty much the only dream I had. However, right when I would usually fall flat, I instead fell into Freddy's arms. What the fuck was going on?
I was a child again. I was elated to have been specially chosen by Freddy for some special surprise. This was the best birthday ever! Freddy rocked me back and forth while his band played along to his song.

"Hey kids, I'm Freddy
C'mon, now go play!
Let's go make lots of
new friends today!"
Freddy's voice began to glitch out after the first verse.
"We love to sing our songs with you
but we have other things to do
like putting guards into their suits."
The band began to play off-key, and parents were dragging their kids
away from the malfunctioning robots.
"Once it gets dark here
and all the kids are gone,
our wandering mode
finally turns on."
The employees were scrambling to get the normally fluffy and friendly animatronics to turn off. They had no idea how to save me from Freddy's tightening grip. The voices were barely decipherable now, but I managed to make out what they were saying.
"Child, we are now going to do
horrible things to you;
our revenge is long past due."
Freddy began leaning closer to my face. He leaned closer and closer until his muzzle was up against my face.
"Hello, Mikey," Freddy managed to choke out through his now staticky voice. He opened his mouth to take a bite and --
(Real World again)
I woke up screaming. I heard another scream echo mine from the other room. Shit. I began mumbling about how goddamn stupid I was and ran out to check on (Y/N).

Rooms of the Desolate
Rooms of the Desolate is a collection of short stories designed to guide the reader through the many rooms and mysteries of the bleak and greyscale labyrinth of the Desolate. The first entry, "The Forever Tower" follows an unnamed wanderer climbing an endless, colourless tower; the only world they have ever known. As they slowly ascend alongside the masses, they consider the nature of their world and look to the corridors as temptation beckons. The second entry, "Production Line", follows an engineer in a boundless factory, who encounters a product that does not wish to bow to the overseers and makes them question their belief in the truth and duties they were made to believe. Content guidelines: Current entries do not include explicit profanity, but future entries may do so, hence the presence of that tag. Some entries do include gore and violence, though not currently to particularly extreme degrees. The Desolate is exactly that: a desolate world; as such, it is bleak, downtrodden, and may deal with mental struggles. Cover art credit: Adam Borkowski on Pexels.
