What if the nightmare of all children came face-to-face with one who melted them for just the right amount of time? What if he wasn't a nightmare at all, and he had no choice in the matter? No hope? My name is Maren Hale. I'm 17, have light blond hair, Green eyes, I'm 5 foot 5, and this is the story, of how I met slenderman. The nightmare of which I didn't think exist. I was wrong. Very, very, wrong.
