Carrickfergus McDonald's horror story

It was just after 11:30 pm when Jamie left his friend’s house and decided to stop at the McDonald’s in Carrickfergus. The streets were quiet. Too quiet. The orange glow of the McDonald’s sign reflected on the wet pavement as a light rain started falling. The place was supposed to close at midnight, but something felt off the moment he walked in. There were no customers. Not a single one. The self-service screens were still on, glowing softly, but the restaurant was silent except for a faint buzzing from the lights. Jamie stepped forward. “Hello?” No answer. He looked toward the counter. The kitchen lights were on, but nobody was there. No staff. No sounds of fryers. No voices. Then he heard it. Beep. One of the order screens lit up. ORDER READY – 666 Jamie frowned. He hadn’t ordered anything. Slowly, he walked toward the counter. Sitting there was a single brown paper bag, slightly greasy at the bottom. He hesitated… then picked it up. Inside was a box of McNuggets. But when he opened the box, his stomach dropped. There were only five nuggets inside. He looked around nervously. “That’s weird,” he muttered. “They always give six.” Then a voice spoke behind him. Low. Quiet. Right next to his ear. “We ran out.” Jamie spun around. No one was there. His heart started racing. The lights above him flickered once… twice… Then the order screens all lit up at once. Every single screen displayed the same message. ORDER READY – JAMIE Jamie hadn’t typed his name anywhere. The kitchen door slowly creaked open. From the darkness inside, he heard the sound of slow footsteps… …and the fryer suddenly turned on by itself with a loud SSSSHHHHHH. A shape stood in the kitchen doorway. Tall. Still. Completely black against the light behind it. Then the voice came again. “You forgot your drink.” Jamie didn’t wait to see what it was. He dropped the nugget box and ran out the door, sprinting across the empty car park without looking back. The next morning, staff opening the restaurant found something strange. On the counter was a single cold nugget box. And on the receipt printer, one order had printed at 11:37 pm. It said: Order #666 6 McNuggets Customer name: Jamie But when they opened the box… There were still only five. 🍗
