I use to be a human, a teen with everything going for him, loving parents, and an awesome younger brother. My grades were up and I was going to graduate in spring. But one day there was a bright flash in the sky, apparently I was the only one that saw it. I went outside and saw it. On the other side of the empty field was a burning meteor. I ran over to it still pulling my shoes on. When I reached it I found a white ooze running from the cracks in the large rock, the ooze almost looked alive the way in moved at odd and seemed to be coming toward me. I stepped to the side and the thing followed. Like a fool I grabbed the nearest stick off the ground and stuck the tip into the ooze. It began to crawl up the stem and I was so fixated on the ooze that crawled stick that I neglected the rest of it crawling up my leg. Suddenly I felt a hot burning sensation on my calf and pulled up the leg of my slacks. The thing had begun to bond to me, the pain was so great I passed out for hours, when I came to I found myself in hospital bed, my body burned all over, I was dazed and felt light headed. I sat up, I looked down at my hands and noticed them white and oddly long. I stood and hit my head, on the ceiling. The room looked incredibly small. I moved toward the door and ducked through it. People screamed and ran from me. I felt afraid; I caught a glimpse of my reflection in a mirror. I was Faceless, bold, and white as snow. I backed up from the mirror, what was wrong with me? What did that thing do to me? I ran toward the doors but was confronted by a doctor. "Please stop! Listen we are trying to help you! We're friends!" I turned; I could see the revolver behind his back.

"What happened to me?" I asked my voice was slow and deep, almost like the creaking of a tree. The man looked surprised I could be and so was I. suddenly a police officer ran around to corner and whipped out his pistol, he fired three shot, tentacles ripped from my back and blocked the bullets. I was so confused and anger, I teleported in front of the man and back handed him with my long arm. He went flying and hit the wall, something cracked and he fell to the floor dead. I was scared I had just killed a man! I crashed through the wall and began to run down the street. With my long legs I moved the fastest I ever have. People saw me and screamed, most ran but some stayed and took pictures and videos of my monstrosity. I needed to get home or somewhere I can hide. I began to run; the ground shook beneath me with every step. I could hear the police sirens coming after me. I saw a large patch of woods to my left and headed toward it. I should be safe there. I reached them, the trees were close together and far from the city, it was a perfect home.

Over the years, my mind began to slip, I don't know if it was from the ooze or from the lack of life around me. The intruders that came into my forest I killed, what right did they have to hunt me? It was my forest and my home. I had become famous and feared around the world, Slender they called me and Slender I am.
