I Have Been a Petticoat

Slender man is pliable, slender man is fun and kind. Slender man is ready to be used to help mankind. I have been a petticoat, he tells me. I have been a hamster ball. I have been of use to others – young, old, small and tall. Slender man is flexible. Slender man is willing. Slender man is confident, his smile is oh, so filling! I have been a spider, he tells me. I have been a flea. But being a petticoat was the happiest time for me!

This was in response to a writing prompt called Thin Man where the thin man had eight legs and looked like a spider.
