It was like any normal day, to start my story.
I am Luther Page. My friends call me Lester. I am a 9gag meme creator, commentator and moderator.
Like I said, it was a normal day for me to visit 9gag. I turned my PC on and it slowly awoke.
I forgot to eat breakfast, but no matter.
I first logged in my facebook account, checked any notifications, and there was none. I logged into 9gag and immediately, memes and gifs posted by users filled my screen.
A lot were very funny, to say the least. At times, I had one of those LMAO moments whenever I read an uproarious photo.
I tell you, the next photo is not very funny. I clicked the " next " icon.
A picture of a eerily dark photo replaced the colorful and playful meme I've recently viewed.
" As you see this photo, Slendy sees you too." the caption declared. Then the operator symbol flashed with audio crackling like the audio in Slenderman's game.
The picture was actually a GIF file. A moving picture.
Surprised and scared at the same time, I simmered down to calmness and resumed work.
I leaned beneath my computer table to insert a hard drive to the system unit, and then my mouse fell.
Odd, my mouse has a non-slip mouse pad. Made to stick on the table.
I dropped to my knee, leaving the comfy computer LAZ boy.
I picked the mouse up, and I saw two leather formal shoes. Strange, I don't own a pair of leather shoes. I looked up, and his piercing, faceless gaze looked down at me.
Long arms, a suit, a height that dwarfs any human.
As abruptly as he appeared in my field of view, he vanished.
It was 6:00 am in the morning since that encounter. Maybe a lack of a proper breakfast blurred my vision? NO!! I looked straigth at his feet, then his emotionless and equally featureless face.
I continued working as if I didn't see anything, ignoring the fact that I saw slenderman. How stupid of me, but I went on working for three more hours.
Then Microsoft word opened without my knowing, and the text in the document loaded slowly, almost as if it was programmed to unnerve me.
" All my friends are dead, and you, can you be one?" The text declared, the operator symbol pasted beneath, scarring my thoughts.
Things got even more scary when my cousin visited me, her name was Abby.
She told me that she saw a white-faced man in formal attire was sitiing on a bench in the park outside my house.
I shuddered, screamed internally. I have never had a panic attack in my life. I looked outside and saw him. I blacked out. Blood streaming from my eyes.
I woke up in the hospital two days later, hooked up to stuff that medical personnel called "Life Support?".
What a waste, I'm still alive. I opened my mouth to speak, nothing. I tried again, to no avail.
I screamed, and only a huff of air came out my mouth. I blacked out again. But this time, I was sent reeling back to my mind. I saw a dark spherical light house perched on a floating island, eerily glowing in the darkness inside my mind. I was floating towards the door, and as I stepped down the lighthouse's paved path, I saw him. I didn't feel any fear, it was like being hypnotized.
I heard my mom and dad's voices, I was being revived. He came closer as I did, tendrils extending out his coat, arching his back. He has never been this scary, even in fan art.
Then I had the sudden urge to fight, my chest glowing a bright blue. I raised my hand to face, a sword is steadily replacing my receding fingers. I looked at Slendy, he has already morphed a mouth to his blank face, a very wide and long, sharp-toothed face.
I slashed the glowing saber to his tendrils, he roared in pain, locking my arms and throwing me to the lighthouse's wall.
Summing up all my courage, I hacked relentlessly, starting from his head to his feet.
He moaned, screamed and shouted in agony. And I noticed, I had a small cut on my face from one of his tendrils..
I woke up, never to see if he was dying, my mom hugged me tightly, my father in tears.
I was their only son, and they were emotional.
It was two months after that...... And I no longer have problems concerning him. But right now, I have the sudden urge to wear a suit, a red tie and leather shoes... Which just appeared on my bed when I woke up.. The urge to wear it is unfathomable, the cut I received in my mind appeared... I wanted to hide my face, I found a white mask.... Now I know why, his purpose is me.
I no longer have problems with him, I am already HIM.... and you, dear reader, are next.
