I swear that's not real-

'''I stumbled backwards from where I stood. Right in front of me was a shark in the clouds, clear as day. It was slender and black and moved through the air as if it were swimming, its tail sweeping from left and right as it moved. My mouth was hanging open, and my blue eyes were widened in disbelief. I had to be seeing things. I refused to blink- I was too shocked to. Only when my eyes started to burn did I blink, and when they opened, it had disappeared.'''

I knew it- it was another hallucination.

At least I knew it this time.

'''My name is Andrew. A few years ago I had been a victim of a car accident. This was before I met them. Before I met him. '''

 Slenderman and his proxies.

'''I remember it all too well: It was dark out and I was on my way home from my work. I worked as a woodcarver and was just returning from where my workspace was. I had no clue why I stopped- I should have kept going. What I saw was a woman in a white gown. She was covered in blood but did not appear to be wounded, and she looked frighteningly similar to my aunt, who at the time passed away the month before. Instead of staying in motion, I decided to stop my white truck by slamming the brakes and causing the person behind me to violently crash into the back of my vehicle, totaling the other car. I had smashed my face into the steering wheel before the airbag went off, and I remember everything going fuzzy before I fainted, blood dripping from my nostrils and searing pain coming from my nose.'''

'''I was trying to figure this out while I sat in the hospital with a broken nose- who was that lady? Was she really my aunt? Whose blood was that? And more importantly- How was I getting home? '''

'''At the time I was unaware of my slight schizophrenia and it took awhile for me to be properly diagnosed. I thought that woman was real.'''

'''When I got home, thanks to a friend, I went right into the shower. I recall playing back what happened in my head. Then- I remembered something that made my gut wrench in guilt.'''

The man who hit my car died before making it to the hospital.

This was my fault.

'''I ran my fingers through my soaked brown hair, collecting my thoughts of ‘holy shit!’ and ‘what now?’. By the time I got out of the shower, I was just as clueless as when I went in. There was no logical explanation of what I saw. Was it a ghost? At the time I was a paranormal sceptic and did not believe this. '''

It was the only thing that made sense.

'''Fast forwards a few months, I have put all this behind me. After all, what's the point of holding on? My truck was finally fixed after a long few weeks of being in the repairs shop and I was going back to work as normally. One day,out of the blues, an image flashed in my mind. Everything was dark but the image that flashed in my mind like a dying light bulb. It was a circle with an ‘X’ going through the center. It wasn't scary, but the randomness of it was what shook me. It kinda just appeared in my mind. I looked this up on Google and here is what I found: It was connected to the so-called “”Slenderman” and his “proxy”. '''

Whatever that meant.

'''You see, my time in the creepypasta fandom was short and sweet. I enjoyed the stories, but did not take any of them seriously. On top of that the only ones I was interested in had nothing to do with Slender. Yes, I know. Who hasn't heard of Slender? I was aware of who he was, but not what he did, or the reality of his stories. '''

'''Of course I was intrigued, and I clicked on the wiki page for “Proxy” and “Slenderman” and so-on so-forth. It's kinda funny in a way, how  real life things can be somewhat answered by a Fandom page. I had learned a lot.'''

''' Now, if you are reading this, then you are fully aware about creepypasta and proxy and everything else. If you're not, then I suggest you get educated. The reason why I am writing this story is because well… it's my story. For you it's just another story on the web, but for me- this is my life.'''

'''I now was in a slight fear of what was next. What was going to happen to me? Was I being stalked by S̶l̶e̶n̶d̶e̶r̶? '''

At the time I thought this was silly but later I would find this to be true.

'''In my paranoia and curiosity, I went to the store and bought myself a camera. Of course my first thought was to use my smartphone camera, but then decided not to due to the low quality. I kinda wish I went for the crappy camera. '''

'''At that time, the “proxy sign” or what it is actually called, the “operator”, was popping up a lot more often. At that time, it was becoming aggressively cold outdoors. You see I live in New England, so wintertime is not something I enjoy. Why I bring the weather up is because of the frosted windows. Someone was putting the signs on every window I owned, not only on my house but even my truck and at my work. Not only this but I had been hearing whispers when I thought I was alone, as well as seeing a tall silhouette of a person in the corners of my eyes from time to time. '''

There was no doubt in my mind he was stalking me then.

'''Now confident, I took out my camera and began filming. '''

This was the beginning of something I wish I could change for the better.

'''Or do I? Now looking back I feel confused upon this. Was I destined to meet him? Or was this something by chance? I don't think I will ever know. '''

'''When I ran outside that afternoon, it was dark and the feeling in the air eerie. I don't know what came over me to try this in the dark, but then again I also don't carry the most sense in the world, either (although logically none of us do). I was running outside, still wearing my pajamas. I was running in the snow still wearing my slippers. I aimed the camera all around me, trying to catch something. '''

Then I did.

'''The camera started to...I don't really know what to call it. Lagging? Glitching? Like I said, I was a woodcarver not a cameraman. What I saw was, well, what you fandom people expect that I saw- a tall man wearing a black tuxedo, red tie, and when I looked up I saw a white, blank, face. For some reason I did not run. My head felt fuzzy. I was not afraid of him, and I still am not (for the most part at least). We just stared at each other. I stood there waiting for something to happen- waiting for something to break this trance. It's not that I wanted to be set free of this trance- I was amazed of what I was seeing- but there was something uncomfortable about this, something I still don't understand. Finally, the camera did that thing again, and although still fuzzy-headed, I could move again. I bolted into my house and got myself dressed. Then something happened that I don't know how to explain.'''

'''This is something that happens to me often, I tend to go cloudy minded and then do things I later won't remember. '''

'''I don't remember how exactly I did it- but when I was me again I had a strong pain on the frontside of where my shoulder was. My shirt was bloodstained and I pulled my shirt down to see. I almost passed out I think from shock.'''

Engraved into my flesh was the operator mark.

'''Now for all of you, I am aware this is common stuff for you guys, but for me, I was somewhat panicking. This was all happening way too quickly for my full understanding.'''

'''I immediately got a big bandage for it, I mean what else could I do? I was still dazed from my encounter with the entity and well, I was tired. '''

'''I suddenly spotted movement to my left. ‘What the hell-?’ Was my first thought. Then out of nowhere this red-haired girl came out of nowhere and hit me really hard on the back of my neck with something that felt like it could break bones. Then I was knocked out cold.'''

'''I woke up in a room with two people, who I will later come to know as Savannah (the red head and an okay person) and Travis ( a tall dude with black hair who is a thorn in my side). Both of them had their arms crossed and Savannah-as-a-stranger looked ready to kill me, her brown eyes hostile. Travis looked just as bad, but the knife he held made him look a bit more intimidating. I just looked at them, confused. “ Who are you?” I had asked, but was not answered immediately. “ Why does it matter?” Savannah asked as a comeback, as unnecessary as it was. She could be a major smartass from time-to-time.'''

'''Travis was still staring at me, as if I were his prey. I waved at him slightly and he attacked me, knife and all. I quickly moved out of the way by rolling and ran at the door before being stopped dead in my tracks.'''

'''Right in front of me was Slender. I was seeing him with my own two eyes.'''

''' I don't remember what happened after that, but I only remember coming into sense again in the middle of the woods on the ground. I was wounded and in pain. I literally could not remember anything. Not even the date. All I know is that I was not alone, for once. I never mentioned this before but I was becoming antisocial and a bit nutty. With me was someone I didn't recognize at the time but was later known as the person I was meant to kill. She looked familiar. I recognized her, but I could not remember who she was. Whoever she was, she without a doubt knew me.'''

'''The girl kept repeating a name over and over. It took me a moment to realize she was calling out my name. I just sat there on the ground, bleeding. On the ground was a bread knife, bloodied and now covered in soil. The only thing logical is that I attacked her and she somehow took the knife from me and used it for defense. I must have been knocked out at some point in the process.'''

'''I just abstantly nodded my head, I mean what else could have I don't? I couldn't move; I was hurt at a point that pain was unbearable. I must have been her boyfriend or finance’ or something like that, for the only reason I say this is because of what she did. '''

The way she wrapped her arms around me, and held her face so close to me and the look of despair in her eyes...I wanted to push her off, but at the same time I didn't. She was covered in my blood by this time.

'''By now I was beginning to pass out, static overcoming my vision. '''

Then I was consumed by the dark once again.

'''I woke up in the hospital. I was in one of those beds with a monitor in me and an IV stuck into my left wrist. I was bandaged up and hooked up to fluids.'''

That's not a good sign.

'''To my right was that woman again, looking at me worriedly. Her huge crystal blue eyes showed concern. Today I am still confused about this memory. She hovered over me and was stroking my face  with a hand. “ Do you remember me?” she had asked. I replied with “ no” while I shook my head. She went up to me and whispered a name into my ear.'''

Veronica.

'''She started crying into my shoulder. I did not pull away. I did not speak. I just layed there on that bed waiting for her to leave. '''

'''She meant nothing to me. '''

'''I mean yes I was a bit curious, but this did not involve me. It involved the old me that I don't remember being.'''

 I am a changed man.

'''I am a confused, but changed man. '''

~

'''I really don't recall what happened after that to be honest. The days and hours flew by in a fuzzy haze. I never saw the girl again- and I admit being the reason for that but not fully responsible for it. For some reason I felt this anger at her, as if she had wronged me, which I am unsure about. Perhaps she did and I remember it, I will never know.'''

Maybe that was Slenders doing.
