Feeling Paranoid Yet?
Playing Slender has never felt so good. I’m alone right now, and I just finished a game of Slender (Mansion). I lost, of course. Stupid corners. It’s a surprise to me that I can actually play this game without having any major freak outs. In reality, I am intensely afraid of the dark, and easily get rattled by the sounds I hear at night. Solution? Slender man. Now I’m not as scared of the dark as before. It’s just that…. Well, it’s more like my main fear shifted from the actual darkness to the possibility of seeing a slender figure lurking in that darkness. It may sound like the same thing, but it’s not. Being scared of Slender man is worse. Being with friends doesn’t make it any better. The feeling of knowing there’s a possibility of being attacked in a group gives me a deep sense of unease. I’m not ashamed though. There are manlier men out there who are indeed afraid of Slendy as I am. It’s no surprise. I have no idea what it is about him that gets to me. It’s like he just has the innate ability to creep people out. It gives me the shivers. I am especially paranoid when I’m walking home from school and it gets dark. There’s this one road that I have to pass before getting home. That road is long and is only lit by three lamp posts placed ridiculously far apart as if to instill fear into people who walk at night. Then there’s the truck. I hate that truck. It’s been there for at least half a year already, and to make things worse, it reminds me of the truck from the original Slender game. Not cool, bro. Not cool. With all this talk of Slender man, I’m not even sure if I’ll be able to sleep straight away. Well, I’ll find out in an hour or two….
