Lally's Game: An AFK Book (Five Nights at Freddy's: Tales from the Pizzaplex #1)

by Scott Cawthon

She pulled the thick silver chain that hung around her neck from beneath her shirt and lifted it over her head, placing the pendant in her palm. The pendant had once been a whole heart, much larger and thicker. Now it was slightly bigger than a crescent moon, about the width of her thumb, with rough scratches embedded on one side.

Being lovely was once all she had ever wanted. She could feel the weakness take over her body with each child she helped, with each scrape of the pendant.

She licked her dry lips and spotted a rusted spring just by the doorway. Her eyes widened. She quickly snatched up the spring and walked out of the room to finish her work for the evening.

“Last night, I read an article about something called ‘quantum immortality.’ It’s a theory that says we never actually die.”

“See, it’s related to the many-worlds theory. No matter which branch of reality you follow, your consciousness is experiencing existence. Each path leads to more existence. We can never experience anything but existence. So, we go on and on.”
