My Journey with Slender Man.

Some of you may have heard of Slender Man. If you haven't, rejoice because if you have heard of him you know that this shit will fuck you up.

Anyway..

It all started when I had a small group of blog teamers over for Christmas so we could celebrate (although it was near comical that the party was hosted by myself, a Jew.), and they, nearing the end of the gathering, decided that it would be a good idea to tell me about the series of youtube videos made by Marble Hornets. Mind you, these videos have achieved about 300k views each. It is hard to watch them one at a time, except for the fact that I believe new ones are still being made. We watched 30 back to back videos of the horror that is Slender Man. It took maybe an hour and change, but during this time I had (I want to say) five all out meltdowns, I broke a glass by knocking it off the table flailing and I screamed enough times that I'm honestly shocked that none of the neighbors called some kind of service thinking that I was being abused or something. In truth, I was. But by a tall thin man who wears a suit and has no face....and kills people.

I still sleep with the light on.

Then, in an effort to try to make me laugh about the whole thing they showed me a video that pokes fun at dear ol' Slendy. Take a look for yourself:



It failed miserably.

The next few things were just annoying. While waiting on line outside a club near to us we decided it would be a good idea to take pictures, because it would be funny. We took mostly normal ones, and then, HORROR.

FOUND YOU. FOREVER.
THENNNN I'm sure you all have seen the image that we used for our logo that I had drawn and I think posted in the past:

The moment I realized I had done this I realized I would never EVER be safe again.
Do you see those little circles that say C60 in them? they were going to be molecules when the image was remade on the computer. Instead, since we decided it would be cooled if it were one watermarked image behind it, I crossed out the first two. They now make circles with X's in them. If you have see the more recent Marble Hornets videos you know that this is a reoccurring theme.

It scared the crap out of me.

The last few days have been oddly normal, in the sense that my friends have calmed down about the joking, and I have had no more sightings to prevent me from sleeping. I would hope that if anyone has anything to add about this unfortunate chain of events that they would please comment. For all we know (since he poofs in and out of dimensions at will) no one is safe. We depend on each other for the knowledge that may one day stop this killer in his tall, thin, faceless tracks, and for that I applaud you, readers.

Be safe.
