I was playing Slender the other day and it gave me this wonderful idea of a Quantum Leap cross-over!
There was no use in crying all my tears. I can't just keep grieving for the ever drawing end. Surely, I had to know that – let alone anyone else. Slender man was gliding ever closer, his arms and legs dragging closely behind him and those long floating tentacles that drifted towards me outstretched. His black business suit matched by a blood red tie was truly an image of terror as he slithers nearer.
Then he stopped and looked down to his side. I gasped as I must have seen it too – impossible to have been a hallucination. A man in an extremely loud outfit that should be illegal and holding a walkie talkie of some form had just appeared out of nowhere - yelling repeatedly a name that must have clicked in the Slender man's head.
"Sam. Sam! You are not this guy! Snap out of it, Godammit!"
The creature drawled in response, sounding neither male nor female just monotonous.
"Al? Al? Is that really you? It's happening again, isn't it? Just like Oswald."
The grey haired male nodded sadly.
"Ziggy says the Slender man's urges to annihilate people are getting uncontrollable – and it's absolute carnage in here. She's locked me in the Imaging Chamber. But you have got to keep control in there, because the probability that you are going to kill Trojan here tonight is 87%!"
I stare in awe at the two speaking to each other like best mates. Slender man Sam had just been trying to kill me and an old guy that appears out of thin air stops him from committing murder. Just a bit weird!
The pair turns to face me – Slender's non existent eyes staring at me warily and Al raising an eyebrow before his lips ignite into a large beam that stretches to his ears.
Al waves.
I start cautiously towards the duo – in case this is a trick – but Al brings faith into my frame, as I stand just metres away from them. Sam towers above me and the faceless being sends a violent shudder down my spine.
I reach a hand out to the joyful old guy to grab one of the cuff linked hands; only to have it pass straight through him. I feel unsafe again…
"Sorry, kid. Just a hologram." Al speaks softly.
Tears fill my eyes again and my stomach sinks.
And all I think while they gaze at me is:
'I'm going to breathe my last breath tonight.'
I'm not expecting reviews for this one, but I would be grateful if you did, thank you! :D
