It's been a while since I updated my blog. I don't really remember where I've been for the past week. My health is deteriorating - I've started to develop debilitating migraines and horrific nosebleeds that leave me lightheaded for hours. If this wasn't happening to me I wouldn't believe it was possible. It isn't possible. But it's happening nonetheless.
The events at Sarah's house shook me up to the point of hysteria. At first I thought maybe I had been hallucinating, or someone was playing a particularly cruel prank on me. If they were, it was in poor taste indeed. When I got home I locked the door behind me and pulled the curtains shut in every room. That's when I got my first migraine, blindingly painful, and my nose gushed with blood for several minutes. Faint and barely able to see I crawled into my bed fully clothed and fell into a fitful sleep, wretched nightmares keeping me from any rest.
Things seemed distant and much less terrifying in the light of the morning, as they often do. I started to doubt myself - had I really seen that creature at Sarah's house? I showered and changed, playing the events of the past two weeks through my mind. Was this really happening or has I just become to involved in my research?
Just when I was starting to convince myself I had overreacted, I saw him. I opened the kitchen blind and there he was, just standing, staring with that disgusting faceless complexion, in the street outside my house, next to Mrs Himble's rose bushes. A coughing fit wracked my body, bending me double and pulling my gaze away from the road. When the fit passed the Slender Man was gone.
I cried. Stupid and unhelpful, I know. Weak too, some would say. But in this situation...well, I was either losing my mind or some malevolent being was stalking me. Either way, I think I had cause for despair. After some minutes I managed to pull myself together and I tried to formulate a plan. My evening class was scheduled for that very night; I would ask my tutor if he had ever delved into this urban legend, or if he knew of anyone who had. It wasn't much to go on, but it was a start.
And I decided to buy a video camera.
