  Summary

  Set post-FNAF 2 movie, Michael Afton is committed to finishing what he started. With a new, particular target in mind, he fantasizes about breaking Mike Schmidt’s bones as if it were a thrilling wet dream. As a consequence for this man convincing his only lifeline left, his sister Vanessa, to lose faith in the Afton name, Michael pours unmeasurable amounts of emotion into the man behind it all. Burning, passionate, whole-hearted hatred… a type of devotion that holds perfect potential for feelings to fester into something much, much deeper.

  Michael learns that there is a thin line between love and hate the hard way, but who says he can’t roll with the punches?
