Strategy

 I want to find M and team up with him. I have come to the conclusion that Slenderman wishes to isolate his victims. Maybe I can organize an IRL meeting with all the runners in a hotel or something. What's the worst that could happen? HE shows up and kills us all? Not likely. HE always seems to strike when you are alone.
I'm convinced that working together is a good idea.

UPDATE: I have seen HIM a few more times now. Mostly in the woods on the way to and from school. While I haven't told anyone about my situation, my friends think I am on drugs. Sleeping is difficult. Especally when you try to do it with every upstairs light on.
Good news though. I now have a camera in my possession and am buying tapes for it tonight. I have drawn a giant operater symbol on my room's ceiling and thinking about it makes me feel a little safer.

What the hell am I going to do?

The Storm

Last night, there was a sudden thunderstorm that kicked up around 8:00. It was over in about an hour. It was raining hard outside and I was chilling on my bed reading. I went downstairs to get flashlights and candles. on my way back, I turned on the weather channel. Both the picture and audio cut in and out with static. I assumed it was because of the storm. I know now that I was wrong. After becoming frustrated with the T.V., I went upstairs to resume reading. The rain started beating against the house extremely loudly. I walked to my window to watch. Something about storms, you know. Then, lightning illuminated my entire town. In that split second of bright light, I saw HIM standing in my neighbors yard, Staring at my window. I am not ashamed to admit that I shit my pants. Another bright lightning flare and HE was gone. If felt true terror. The kind that makes you clench up and shake. The kind that makes you feel like ice, but causes you to sweat buckets. The kind of fear only something like HIM could bring.

My Situation

I guess I should talk about my current predicament. I have already started drawing him. The drawings almost scare me as much as he does. Almost. I will post pics later if I get the chance.

This brings me to my next point: I do not have a home computer, digital camera or a video camera. This means that my updates are most likely going to be sporadic. I have been trying to convince my friend to let me borrow his VHS recorder so I can film myself sleeping. Having it would help me sleep better. I could also could use the night vision to help me see into the distance when it is dark.

I do, however, have a bunch of guns, ammo and other gear. I consider myself a bit of a survivalist. Before   HE started stalking me, I was getting prepared for the apocalypse and the eventual collapse of society. Now don't go thinking "gun nut+ lives in indiana=hick" because I am not a hick. If you really wish to know what I look like, I have long hair and usually wear band shirts (mostly Metallica, at least thier good albums). I know I said that I wouldn't reveal anything about myself but I am feeling generous.

I have already gone looking for HIM in the woods at night. (Stupid, I know.) Each time, I heard twigs breaking, tapping, and foot steps. It was not like something was approaching quickly, but rather slowly. Somehow, that was more scary then if HE had ran at me.

My mental health seems pretty well, all things considered. I get really paranoid sometimes though. Who wouldn't?

An Introduction

For starters, I am not going to reveal my name, location, or age. You can call me Rayne, you can know I live somewhere in Indiana and I am young male. I figure the less personal information out there, the better.

Lets start on the real purpose of this blog:

It's been about two months. He is real. I am certain of that. I have indirectly seen him 5-6 times now. But more than often, I can sense that he's out there (Anyone going through this shit will know what I'm talking about). The problem is that my home town is semi-rural and surrounded by woods. He could be anywhere at anytime. I feel alright during the day. It is, however, a different story at night. I have pretty bad night blindness so I have to rely on my instincts/feelings and hearing when it gets dark. I can just feel him "staring". I also experience horrible coughing spells at night which is not very reassuring.

There are three reasons why I started this blog. I feel if I don't write this shit down. I am going to lose my mind. I am also so sick of feeling alone, I need to know that other people are going through this too. I also need to have my story archived in case anything happens to me.

BTW, this is my first blog as this is the only time I felt that I needed one.
