After receiving a personal request from the Slenderman to capture eight killers around the U.S., Kate, Tim, Brian, and Toby, have no choice but to comply. What was once supposed to be a betrayal in order to set themselves free, turned into a deep search for redemption, their demons, free will, and the worse they have feared: their humanity. The "origin" of how the Slender mansion came to be. A story created by a fan for the fans, filled with references and memories. A mixture of Creepypasta, Slender: The Arrival, and the Slenderverse. This is for the ones who found comfort in fictional killers, when the rest of the world turned its back on them.
