Fomo Burger

Just as they all entered the lab, the door immediately slammed shut behind them trapping them inside. "Damn" Crazy Burger said under her breath. "Well what are we gonna do now?" Sweet Burger asked. "Let's keep moving" Chicken Burger responded. As the group moved forward through the abandoned lab Fomo Burger asked Crazy Burger about the crooked spirits.

"You said you guys knew we unleashed whatever was in the amulet, how did you know?" Fomo Burger asked. "Well it's a long story but my family actually made the amulet. It was my grandburgers that made it years ago. So my family throughout the years have been keeping a watch on it just incase the crooked spirit was ever to come out, which it has" Crazy Burger responded. "Oh sorry about that, so are these guys your family?" asked Fomo Burger. "What these guys? No not at all, they are basically just work colleagues" responded Crazy Burger. As Fomo Burger thought to himself if he could really trust these new accompaniments, a crackly noise was heard in the distance. "What was that?" Sweet Burger asked. "There are Cracklers here, nobody make a noise from now on. They are blind but have super hearing. Be careful" Chicken Burger explained. Fomo Burger felt a sudden rush of fear go through his patty.

They carefully snuck through the lab trying to get to the other side. The creepy crackling noises continued and got louder as the group progressed through the lab. Eventually, the group got to a shut door. Chicken Burger went to slowly open it but unfortunately as he started to open the door, it squeaked. Suddenly, a crackler came jumping out in front of them and started to listen for more noises. Its skin was grey and moist and it had no eyes. The creature had long lanky arms and a crooked spine. Its teeth looked rotten as meat could be seen dangling from it. The same black smoke that came out of Quirky Burger's corpse was also there this time coming out of the creature's nostrils. Sweet Burger let out a small squeal and the crackler immediately looked in their direction. The group stayed as silent as they possibly could only hoping that the crackler would go away, and eventually it did. Chicken Burger let out a sigh of relief and the group continued forward. "Hopefully another one of those things doesn't show up again" Fomo Burger thought to himself.

Unfortunately, as the group continued walking through one of the lab's dark hallways, Fomo Burger tripped over a metal bucket which made a loud crash sound. The group looked back at Fomo Burger with faces of disbelief as the crackler's noises started to come rapidly towards them. "Run" Crazy Burger mumbled. The group started to sprint in random directions as a pack of cracklers followed closely behind. Quarter Pounder Burger bust down one of the double doors and the group followed behind. Fomo Burger kept his eyes closed and kept running as he feared for his life. However when he eventually opened his eyes, he realised once again that he had lost the group.

Sweet Burger followed closely behind Crazy Burger, Chicken Burger and Quarter Pounder Burger. The four burgers then entered a safe room and Quarter Pounder Burger started to hold the door shut so that no cracklers could get in. Suddenly, a Crackler fell through the ceiling and landed on top of Sweet Burger. Its lanky arm stabbed through Sweet Burger's arm and she screamed in agony. Ketchup seeped out of her arm as the creature let out a loud roar. Swiftly noticing, Chicken Burger turned back and tackled the crackler to the floor causing it to run away. When Chicken Burger tackled the crackler, he fell on top of Sweet Burger. The two made eye contact for a moment before Chicken Burger said "Sorry". "It's okay" Sweet Burger replied whilst starting to blush. Chicken Burger tore off a piece of his clothing and wrapped it around Sweet Burger's arm wound. "This should stop any more ketchup from coming out" he said. "Thank you" Sweet Burger replied. "Are you lovebirds done yet? We have lost Fomo Burger again we need to find him" Crazy Burger exclaimed. "Ugh not again, this guy is starting to get on my nerves" Chicken Burger responded. They then quietly left the room and started to look for Fomo Burger.

Fomo Burger stood still for a moment to analyse where he was. He had no clue on what to do. "The crackling noise stopped, I should be safe for now" he thought to himself. He sat down on the floor to catch his breath. As he sat down a polaroid photograph fell out of his pocket. It was a polaroid of his old friend group in a bike repair shop. He looked at Quirky Burger in the photo and thought to himself if all of this was his fault. Guilt immediately rushed through his body as he started to cry. Not only had he killed Quirky Burger, his old crush, but he had also killed Emo Burger and Cool Burger. Fomo Burger curled up into a ball and continued to cry. Suddenly, Fomo Burger heard a scream in the distance.
