Tall, Dark, and SLENDER

Being alone in the woods at night, can give a child such a fright.

For if he finds you all alone, your soul will he now own.

In the end its all the same, Slendermans frightning little game.

August 27, 1907

"laughter. Laughter was the last sound i herd before this nightmare begun. i've been trapped here in these woods for god knows how long. Im begining to question if anybody knows im missing. He lurks closer with every passing of the moon. He is tall. He is dark. He is slender, without a face he stalks the inoccent to feed apon their blood and souls.I belive there is a way to escape the constant living in fear, in fact I'm hopeing that whom ever finds this will help me in my resarch. i have left 8 pages scattered all around the woods. collect all the pages and it will lead you to either myself or the answer. But be warned, for he takes the soul of those who look."

I shuttered at words on the page and threw the half burned diary into my backpack. I had found it on the bank of the brooke where I usualy spend most of my time before, and after school. I made my way back across the cracked stone bridge and proceded through the grass damp from the morning dew. At my bus stop i saw kyle and olivia allready standing there together. i was debating on weather i should tell them about my discovery, after all they were my best friends. i kicked a rock over and it tapped the back of jennies shoe. She turned around to investigate what had hit her and her face lit up when she saw me.

"Hey olivia!" she called to me.

I simply nodded in response and gave her a weak smile.

"Is everything ok," she asked in curriousity.

"yea im all good just a bit tired still. i cant belive we have to get up at 6 now."

olivia frowned, "yea, but hey were in Highschool now! Are you nervous about your first day in 7th grade?"

i paused for a moment, "mmm a little bit. i think im more concerned about what our teachers are like."

Kyle walked over to where we were and nodded in agreement, "I herd Mr. heartford is really strict."

"what! really?" olivia started, "i have him 4th hour."

Kyle laughed, and patted her on the head. " It will be ok little one," he taunted.

She stuck her toung out at him playfully, then shoved him aside. I looked down at my schudual and noticed i had Mr. Heartford 4th hour as well. i nudged Olivias shoulder to tell her, when kyle began jumping up and down excitly.

"Hey guys, i see the bus!" he stated.

I immedatly grew tense and gripped the straps of my bookbag tighter than before. When the bus finaly pulled up and the doors swung open, we all climbed into the long smelly interior. i picked a seat in the middle of the bus and looked around. the front of the bus had many of the younger kids seated unorganized, and the back of the bus held the highschool students. They all looked mean and mature in the face. I quickly looked forward after i accidently made eye contact with one of the older boys in the back. I sat in silence for the rest of the bus ride untill avriving to school.

Olivia and I walked in the school together and found a seat in the cafiteria with the other kids in our grade. I watched as our princapal walk out in front of us and began to speak, but i began to daydream about the mysterious diary i found early. Only when the bell rang did i realize where i was, and i immediatly stood up, hugged Olivia good bye, and walked off to my first hour.
