Today, I was almost taken by Slender Man.

     On this second day in the Spring of Hands, Panda had finally arrived. I attempted to teach her how to swim, lounged in the serene pool, and eventually readied ourselves for the adventure ahead.

     Tonight, we found ourselves back at Ranger's; where we met the Canadians. Everything was dandy, but I found myself clinging on to Panda and Screeching Cat for dear life. By that, I mean, I barricaded myself with human bodies so as to protect myself from the creeping eyes making their way to my childlike figure. At one point, I noticed a lanky, balding man standing partially behind a beam; staring at me. It was Slender Man.

     Throughout the night, wherever I went, I just felt someone's presence following my every move. Without fail, I found Slender Man keeping a watchful eye on me. With any chance I had, I made sure to stick close to Cat because for sure Panda would have left me for dead. Now, it's not that she actually would, it's just that she wouldn't know how to protect me. In this case, though, we decided to go to the bathroom ourselves, since we couldn't find Cat, and ventured off in this homophilic jungle.

     As soon as I left the bathroom and met up with Panda around the corner, we attempted to make our way back on to the crowded dance floor. Suddenly, Slender Man had swiftly glided over to us and pinned our bodies to the wall with his overwhelming, and surprising, presence.

Slender Man: Hi... How's it going?

Both: Um, we're doing fine. Yeah. Thanks.

Slender Man: Good... Are you guys having any fun?

Panda: Um, yeah. We are. We just went to go use the bathroom. Now we're headed back.

     While this entire conversation is happening, his grinning face had his eyes locked onto me. At one point, he went so far as to grab me by the shoulders and "seductively" speak to me.

Slender Man: Are you having any fun?

Asian: Umm...yeah. It's been fine.

Slender Man: You're sure you've been having fun? I just want to make sure that you're enjoying yourself.

Asian: Yeah. Our friend is actually inside there and we're going back to meet him.

Slender Man: Oh ok. So you're having fun?

     From the moment he creepily locked eyes on me, I knew that he was trying to get into my pants. Showing concern for me, seeming all caring. Yeah. Though, any person could see that miles away. It was that obvious.

Slender Man: Is he having any fun?

Panda: Um, I think so.

Slender Man: Ok good... Is he your boyfriend?

     When he popped the question, I looked to Panda with eyes filled with hope. This was my chance to be freed from the grasps of this being.

Panda: Umm, n-...yee...sss...

     Any moment I had, crushed.

Slender Man: He's not. He's definitely not. Stop lying to me.

     My heart was racing. I didn't know what to do. For a split second, I considered running away from this monstrosity. Panda could fend for herself. She's a strong woman.

Slender Man: Is he our brother?

     I coyly nodded my head without him noticing. My eyes widened, trying to get her to accept this notion.

Panda: Yeees.

Slender Man: Oh, ok. Is your brother gay?

     My eyes widened even more. At this point, I finally looked like a white person with a really good tan. I shook my head, trying to get her to disapprove of this. But from the corner of his eye, I could tell that he could notice me shaking my head.

Panda: Umm, nooo.

Slender Man: Oh, yes he is! There's no need to lie to me!

     Heart. Racing. Couldn't stop. It just kept beating faster and faster as my fear began to grow more imminent.

Slender Man: So you're having a good time though?

Asian: Uh huh. Yeah, for sure.

Slender Man: Ok, I just want to make sure. It would be such a shame if you weren't enjoying yourself.

     From this point, Panda and I made a run for it back onto the dance floor. We found Cat and told him everything that had happened.

Screeching Cat: Uh, yeah! Of course that was going to happen! You're live bait to these guys! That is why if you ever need to go somewhere, make sure you tale myself or Sheep with you. You understand?

Asian: Yes...

     I did have fun, though, overall. One thing I noticed was that Slender Man was successful enough to find himself his chocolate lover because I'm a tell you now, it is not me. I am not sweet, I am as bitter and decadent as the real thing.

     So if you ever decided to go anywhere social, just make sure that you have somebody there that can protect you. Who knows, you might find yourself your own Slender Man watching you from afar.

     So here's to more adventures and experiences to come!





Sincerely.
An Asian
