Thoughts: Foreword

I’m not sure where to begin with this. I guess over the past year I’ve been putting together pieces of it in my head like a puzzle. Or maybe my brain just did some fancy mental gymnastics to get me to my conclusions and they’re nothing more than delusions. All I can do is put this out there and let anyone who reads this decide for themselves.

Many of us know that thing that was created on the SomethingAwful forums and many believe it to be nothing more than a clever creation. It was something clever at that. And many people believed it and many still do. The funny thing about ideas though is once you put them out there they spread, infect and multiply. It simply snowballs out of control.

People say it doesn’t exist. But what happens if it does? What if that thing was nudging the original poster in the direction it needed? People will laugh at this I’m sure. But when you sit down and think about it belief is a powerful thing. It can raise men to godhood, give people awe-inspiring strength and many other things but I’m sure you see what I mean. My point is people believe in the Slenderman and belief gives things a tangible presence.

A great deal of people laugh and make jokes out of it and for each one of them there are two or three that are actually scared of it. Even if it’s only a little bit, a tiny shiver up your spine when you read the blogs. Or even just a bad dream. For those moments you believe and it lends greater strength to it.

Is it really here and among us? I can’t say in all honesty. I’ve seen things I’ll relate in later postings just so I’ve some record of them at the least. But the questions remains. Is he really out there taking children? Setting fires? None of us know at this point. Some people do just disappear and nothing is ever found of them.

Regards,
Yawn

P.S.

I’ve no real idea where this blog will lead me or the direction it will take. My only thoughts on it now are to open up the can of snakes and try and not get bit. Apologies now if I ramble. Had this all just pent up in my head and it needed an out.
