My Cousins Freind:

I had just arrived at my Aunt Nelly's house. It was a warm June afternoon. I was going to stay here for a few days, since I had recently been kicked out of my house, wich is another story all its own. But anyways, I had just arrived and said hello to my family. I had asked about my little cousin Jake. Jake was only 4 years old, and had autism. I always liked to play with Jake, he was funny and was always a wildman.

"Jakes up in his room, playing with his new 'Freind'. You know how kids can be, with their imiginary freinds and what not!" Said my Aunt Nelly.

It was no suprise Jake had an imaginary freind, they lived in the middle of the woods, and the nearest gas station/hotel was 5 miles away. I drew close to Jake's room. I herd him giggling and the sound of his cars being pushed around on the hard-wood floor. I started stomping twords the door, wich is a game between me and Jake, he likes to pretend that im a giant monster and i was going to eat him. And as I got closer, the laughter stopped, and i herd footsteps. And I herd Jake say "Bye, Mister!", and then the window closed. This perplexed, and worried me. I was about to open the door when Jake exploaded out the door and tried tackling me to the ground. Im trying to cut to the chase, so ill spare many details. Me and Jake played for about an hour, until dinner was ready. And while evreyone was getting ready at the table, I approached my Aunt Nelly and told her about what i herd.

"Hey aunt Nelly, uhhh...When I was heading twords Jake's room I herd him stop playing, then footsteps, then the window close and he said 'Bye, Mister!'..I don't think that Jake's freind is so....erm...Igmaginary, after all.."

My Aunt laughed at this. "Of course he is! That was probably just Jake going through the sequences of pretending...I guess you could say..hahaha"

Sometimes I wish she didnt take evreything so easily. Evreything was a joke, someone could point a gun at her and she would laugh. The next few days were normal, I kinda left Jake to be himself in his room. Me and my Uncle Jeff had returned home from the grociery store, wich was 12 miles away from their house. I bought jake a candy bar. He looovveess his candy. I walked into his room, and found him leaning outside of his window, waving and shouting "Bye!". I tapped him on his shoulder and he turned around, he looked me dead in the eyes. The look on his face was...intense, at worst. He looked at me for about 10 seconds, yanked the candy bar out of my hand and said "My freind wants to say bye to you, wave to him!" Jake said in a playful manner. I figured i met get a glimpse of this Guy, if there was one, and report him to the police. Sick fuck...

But, little did i know, Jakes freind wasn't Imaginary...Nor was he a man...

I peered outside the window, looking for any sign of life. All i saw was my aunts cat, Simba, purched on a small table outside their shed. I looked for about 15 seconds befor i saw movement in the woods. At first i thought it was the wind. I saw a shadow slowly come into view. Then i made out more details on the shadow, as it stepped closer to the light. A suit...And pale white head, and a hat. The hat looked like a fadora, but i couldn't tell from this distance. I watched, and watched. I stared at the...Shadow..For roughly about 30 seconds.

"SAY BYE TO HIM NOW!!" Jake yelled, punching me in my back. I looked back at Jake, now he looked very angry, like he was about to snap and jut go ballistic on me. So i turned back out the window, and sure enough, the shadowie figure was still standing there. This time, i felt its gaze...Cold...Lifeless...I waved to it, and withdrew my hand into my pocket...I was about 5 seconds befor the shadow raised a pale hand, and waved back. Then disappeared into the forest. I was scared. My aunt and uncle had no idea that someone..or, somthing, was in their house on a daily basis, playing with their son.

2 Days Later...

I had gotten less then 3 hours of sleep the past 2 nights. I was going to return home, to see if my parents would let me back into their house. But befor I left, there was one last thing i had to do...

I had krept into my uncles Gun cabnet and grabbed his 9mm. I told him i was going for an early morning walk in the woods.

I began to trek from the front door, to the spot were the shadow-man waved to me. I entered the woods. I walked for nigh on 3 hours, befor i came across a small field. About 10 yards across both ways. A perfect square. In the middle of the field was a large oak tree. The oak towered over all other tress in the vacinity. But the tree isnt what cought my attention, it was the Shadow-man... But the light was hitting him perfectly...I could see him now...

It was worse than i thought...

I tried to pullout the 9mm and take shots at it, but it got to me faster...

I was a victim of the Slenderman.
