I found this pretty shitty. "He had me in a suit, for whatever reason." This line pretty much encapsulates my thoughts on this; everything that happens in this story happens "for whatever reason." It's merely an attempt to bring a new perspective on the Slender Man (for whatever reason) by humanizing him (for whatever reason) and thereby making the monster not scary (for whatever reason). Not that doing such a thing is not an inherently bad thing to do in fiction (it seems to be more or less a matter of taste) but there's no realism in the damn thing. Aside from the fact that it's a damn creepypasta, why would a labrat person be wearing a suit? (It is never explicitly said to be a fancy suit or anything but we all know what the fuck the Slender Man looks like so the question remains.) Why not some kind of special sciencey testing outfit? Why does the experiment result in teleportation? What does the ability to teleport have to do with the experiment attempting to give this person shapeshifting abilities or something? Why does it make Slendy's "default" skin white? Why does this "transformation" process require melting the subject's face off? I know a creepypasta is meant to be ambiguous, but the amount of questions I have regarding this senseless story is overwhelming and distracting. Things just happen in the story and no one else seems to be questioning it. Even the writer seemed to admit it when that line " He had me in a suit, for whatever reason" appeared, but it's never explained or brought up ever again. This is a poor explanation for the Slender Man because not only does it raise more (and distractingly obnoxious) questions than the actual (contemporary) Slender Man monster, but it feels the need to downgrade the horror of one of the Internet's most popular horror icons.
