|A pressing situation| FNaF: 1:35 A.M. -- Review by Gail
*Disclaimer* The FNaF books do not directly connect or relate to the FNaF Games or the FNaF Movie!
After
many, many, many nights of bone chilling dreams and nightmares, both in sleep
and awake, Delilah has had enough. Everything she’s done to try and stop from
waking up at 1:35am has failed and left her worse than before. From getting
fired from her job because she kept on having panic attacks every night, to pushing
her best, and only, friend away from her, she’s ready do anything to stop Ella
from getting to her.
So, when working
the night shift, then sleeping at her best friends house, then sleeping at a
motel, then driving around town doesn’t work, Delilah parks her car across a
bridge, leaves everything but her flashlight, and runs. She runs, and runs, and
runs until she sees an old construction site. Then, using her upper body
strength, she pulls herself into a vent and crawls until she “feels safe.”
This
story ends with Delilah stuck, unable to move at all in a dark, pitch black
vent. Her last thoughts are along the lines of, “Ella will never be able to
find me here. No one will.”
Me
personally, I didn’t really like this story as much as I would’ve wanted to. It
was a really slow story where basically nothing happened, granted, this works
for the story because nothing happening is meant to add on to Delilah’s fear
and everyone thinking she’s just crazy. But for me, I would have preferred if
more occurred in this story other than Delilah sleeping, waking up in terror,
and investigating dead ends. The ending however was also disappointing but intriguing
in a way. Disappointing for the same reason it’s intriguing, it leaves you
questioning so many things.
But, like
I said, as one story ends, another begins. So! Tune in next time for the next
story in this collection!
Hey Gail, I feel like the ending was more of a cliffhanger than just a disappointing ending. Delilah's last thoughts also possibly suggest that she might be stuck there forever!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I can agree with you on that! Most of the stories in the collection seem to have bad endings for the main characters so it is likely that she just died in the vent she was trapped in.
