    Oswald’s summers had been dull and uneventful ever since the mill closed down. He would spend his days exploring his small town, looking for something to break his routine. One day, he stumbled upon the local pizzeria and discovered a rusty ball pit.

    With a rush of excitement, Oswald decided to dive into the pit. As he plunged into the colourful balls, he felt a strange sensation. When he emerged, he found himself in a different place altogether.

    It was Freddy Fazbear’s pizza place, but it seemed eerily different. The lighting was dim, the music was warped, and the air was heavy. The year, he soon learned, was 1985.

    The place was filled with the laughter of children and the clattering of arcade games. But one thing stood out from the rest - a yellow rabbit. It was everywhere he looked, lurking in the shadows.

    Oswald felt a sense of dread every time he saw the rabbit. It wasn't just the sinister grin or the glowing red eyes; there was something more, something evil.

    The rabbit was not just a harmless animatronic. It was responsible for the deaths of six innocent children. Oswald saw it, the blood on the rabbit's hands, the lifeless bodies.

    Fear gripped Oswald as he realized the true nature of the yellow rabbit. He had to escape. He ran, heart pounding, back to the ball pit and dove in.

    When he emerged, he found himself back at the pizzeria in his time. But something wasn't right. He saw his dad, who was supposed to be at work.

    His father looked terrified and confused. Before Oswald could reach him, the rabbit appeared. It grabbed his father and disappeared, leaving everyone staring at his dad instead of the rabbit.
