Grave Consequences… FNaF: Out of Stock -- Review by Gail

Before getting into the next part of Out of Stock, I say, I forgot to mention that this is a story that goes along with a horror game series called “Five Night’s at Freddy’s” made by Scott Cawthon.

              If you had the chance to get the one thing you’ve wanted all year but the minute you get close, your chance disappears, what would you do? Oscar, desperate and zoned out in an eruption of angry customers, saw a chance to grab that one thing he really wanted. A Plushtrap Chaser, a three-foot-tall “…light-activated chomping green rabbit…” as the book describes it. In all the chaos, Oscar steals the toy, a choice that in a few days he and his friends would drastically regret.

              After reaching Oscar’s house, he and his friends, Isaac and Raj, try almost everything they can to power on their new all-too-humanlike Plushtrap Chaser. Seeing on the box that the toy is only activated in the darkness they decide to wait.

              In a few days, everything goes rotten and bloody. Oscar takes a hit that send him flying, the boys get chased around Oscar’s own house, and they realize that their one choice to steal the odd-looking toy could be what gets them killed the night before Halloween.

              Me, personally, I absolutely loved this part of the story. There was suspense, action, confusion, and overall, it made me sit on the edge of my bean bag. Now that I’ve finished the story, I like how Oscar was such a relatable character in some ways (obviously not stealing a 3-foot-tall chomping machine) and how the story was able to tell Oscar’s feelings and thoughts in a way that almost anyone would be able to empathize with. In this story there are parts that could make someone want to puke, but I think my favorite parts are when something happens, and I must stop reading to try and figure out how it happened or what led to it.

              I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this specific story to anyone who doesn’t like gory/semi-gory descriptions, but if you’re someone who would be interested in a short, suspenseful reading, I would recommend this to you!

              But just remember, some actions have grave consequences…
