The nightmare

i was always into the creepy pasta characters to the point my brothers joined me. my youngest brother was more scared of some and had nightmares of slender man, i always thought it was just a small nightmare until even i got nightmares of the creature.

it was time to go to bed and i had to share a room with my brothers as we didn't have any other room and our parents were in another country while we stayed in our grandparents house. i was already asleep when my youngest brother started crying from another nightmare. i started shushing him and telling him that everything will be alright. the light outside our room shining from the corner of the curtain gave me a better view of the room. it was just a single light post but it gave a lot of light. after calming my brother down i put my head back down and looked up at the ceiling thinking about how can slender man be that scary. after that sentence left my mouth instead of one small pole i saw two. i looked at the window to see a shadow of a chest. i didn't dare move and quietly put my head back down. i saw that the light was blocked and i closed my eyes out of fear. i finally somehow fell asleep, as morning came up i was the last to wake up. i sat up to see the curtains pulled apart and the pole of the lamp outside being single again, but what was more frightening was that one of the closet doors where open even though it should have been blocked by the chair in front of it. after this incident my youngest brother never had this nightmare and he was always calm when talking about slender man while i wasn't.
