This is kind of new to me... I'm still uncertain about, well... EVERYTHING, at this point, but if there is any possibilty that someone can tell me what I'm supposed to do, then I figured it couldn't hurt.... This is how my story started : I didn't learn about Slenderman until a couple of months ago, in December. I'd heard his name tossed around before, but I figured people were letting their imaginations run wild. I didn't really know anything about Him, though... Well, one night I went to spend the night with a couple of friends, who were surprises that I didn't know who Slenderman was. My friend, let's call her "Leniora" decided that I needed to know who he is and wanted to show me some videos by the MarbleHornets. My friend, "Justin", on the other hand, was dismayed by the thought, but me and Leniora won that argument. So, we watched. Needless to say, it scared me a LOT. Later that night, we went to the store. "Justin" lived in a woodsy part of town, so we had to pass lots of trees. I'd had a creeping sense of paranoia since we first stepped outside... A psychological response to watching those videos. That's what I tried to convince myself it was. We passed, eventually, and made it to the store uneventfully. The other two looked fairly tense when we had to go back to the house. I was pretty tense, myself. And scared, very scared. Of course, we had no choice in the matter and started driving back to "Justin"'s house. The drive through the woods seemed so much longer this time. Of course, we passed a lamppost, cause that's just the kind of night it was. We all saw the man standing there, head turned and watching us. Only MAN isn't the right word... He was TALL with crazy long arms... We all asked each other if the others saw Him, and we were all answered with "yes". We looked at each other, unsure if we should just floor it and drive by Him or just flip a U-ey and go somewhere else. When we looked back at the road, He was gone. We sped right to "Justin"'s house, locked the doors, closed all blinds and windows, then ended up falling into an uneasy sleep. Every sound woke us up... I had a recurring dream for a while after that, it was me and "Justin" driving past that lamppost, seeing him walking towards us, me being unable to move no matter how hard I tried... He was walking forward, I knew he would get me, and still I couldn't run. I'd wake up every time in a cold sweat, feeling chilled to the bone. For a while I was terrified... And then, it seems that I forgot I was afraid of him, I forgot my experiences where he was concerned. I stopped talking to Leniora and Justin not long after. I'm currently moving across the country with my cousins and we stopped at a rest area last night. I waned to go look at something by the wooded part of the area, but I was struck with some unknown terror. I couldn't figure out why, but I felt like there was someone there, watching, just waiting to get me. My cousins asked why I was so scared, as they thought I was being completely ridiculous. Without thinking about it, I replied with "I'm afraid of Slenderman". I tried explaining who He is, but they thought I was being silly... In retrospect, I guess I'm grateful they thought it was ridiculous, cause if they believed in Him, they could be victim, too... When I admitted to being scared of Slender Man, I remembered everything and started crying, which only alarmed my cousins. Since admitting it, I've been extreme paranoid, feeling like he's watching me, waiting for me. We were driving through Cali and there were trees everywhere! I kept seeing Him, impossibly long arms, no face, and all. I keep zoning and out, but sometime last night, I remember drawing Him, and the more detail I added, the closer I could feel him coming. Even now, in the day, I feel like he's watching, following...
