The Slender Man

far in the forests deep down in the undergrowth easier to find in hindsight of open minds there appears the slender man he has not a face and is often found walking stalking silently he makes himself known through fear though hidden within the trees strangely tall he is his arms abnormally long some say hes demon and others think he is guardian he is mystery—master there has been much talk that slender man does stalk preying on small children appearing in their photos who is to say they are wrong? i have seen him once and many times in nightmares i am hearing more —just remember little ones the slender man works through fear his tendrils outstretched the fright face in a white blur i swear i saw him far from the forests of green locking my mind in a fright honestly im scared that i will find him again heard he kills grown men not just the little children not just the little children i hope they are wrong no one really knows for sure all i really know is what i am told of him is what i have seen of him my fear is greater as i grow ever older i need the light on it seems i am a child at heart as he watches in the dark

How odd... I once wrote a poem referencing the slender man as well! Though I've never seen him myself I have a couple friends that claim they did... and it's such an ancient myth/legend that I don't doubt it's possible that he's real. Eerie stuff! I like how the mystery adds to the terror...

What a goosebump tale you tell here! It should be "tankas" - not "tankus". Small matter this is good work! Peace & Love Matthew Anish
