The journal of odd occurences

Odd things.

I have been noticing odd things as of late. For instance, this morning I had been digging through our old movies (DVDs) and I found a particular one that caught my eye. It was at the bottom of the cardboard box, hidden from view. It was a movie made in 2012 named "The tall man. " This gave me goosebumps, as this could only mean one thing. Slenderman had been in my life longer than I anticipated. The most frightening aspect of this was the fact that father seemed to have no memory of this movie ever being present in our collection. I plan to watch it, of course, however the very thought of doing so makes me terribly anxious; as if something is warning me I shouldn't. After all, I do not believe in coinsidences. I, too, do not recall this movie ever being present. I have dug through our old movies many times and never once have I come across this one. As a child, I watched all the horror movies we had. I would recall this, as I do the others, however I do not. I believe something bigger is at work here, and that I was never free from Their clutches to begin with.

I have been so terribly forgetful as of late. And in a daze, as if everything is but a dream. Nothing appears to be true; I cannot distinguish between dreams and reality. Something malicious eats away at my mind; as if taking away my memories and mental capabilities entirely. Something so frighteningly dark that I cannot begin to comprehend. I often feel a presence in my home, and the lights go out during these moments. It has occurred on multiple occasions and I'm a bit unsettled. My dreams are pleasant, which is unusual. I should be delighted that at least my dreams are bright, however all it does is unsettle me even further. Everything simply appears fantastical and dream-like. I have difficulty believing that this, too, is not a dream. For all I know, I could be dreaming right this instant. If this were to be a dream, it'd be better, wouldn't it? There'd be less burdens to bear. Although it does excite me to realize I've new adventures ahead of me, it also frightens me terribly.
