San Roque Avenue
Dang it. It's raining today, which is a big bust for me. I always go out on Sundays for a jog around the neighborhood.
It also rained EXACTLY when I slipped on my earphones. I guess I'm staying in tonight. Well, I won't exactly deem this the worst day ever.
My life is pretty crappy. How so? Well, first of all, bullies at school feed on my self-consciousness.
Second of all, the power always goes out in my house. Thirdly, I'm not exactly the prettiest girl, well….
There's much more to state here, but I don't want to waste your time.
Anyway, on with the rain. School is going to start tomorrow, so I don't mind if it rains harder. I went into my room to
get out of my athletic gear when the freaking power went off. That kills today's plans. Usually when I can't jog I go and
watch a movie or read a book. Sadly, the sky is too dark for natural light to be used for reading. This is exactly what I'
m talking about. My life is indeed CRAPPY.
I slipped off my sweat pants and put on some cotton jeggings. Left my jacket on though, it was starting to get really chilly.
I ripped off the blanket from my bed and went into the living room. Being bored and all, I decided to sleep on the couch.
I hated having to fix my bed, so I usually slept in the living room. My vision started to get blurry and I drifted away into my dream world.
Something very strange has happened while I was sleeping. I had a dream about plunging into a black void and I was running out of air.
Very unexplainable things happened, and believe me, you don't want me to describe that for you.
I was almost out of breath until I heard a loud crash and woke up. I realized that I had been holding my breath while sleeping.
I looked around for the source of the crash and had found out that the window is open. How? The wind blew harshly through the
curtains and straight to… a vase. Its pieces were scattered on the floor.
Well, how the heck did the window open in the first place? I looked around for anything suspicious.
Then I saw something move behind my huge duffel bag. I wasn't scared though, I was only creeped out.
I cautiously approached it and turned the bag over. Things happened too fast that I couldn't even process what happened.
A furry beast leapt to my face and started madly scratching, I guess.
I pulled it off of my face. It was a squirrel. He couldn't have opened my window, he's too freaking tiny. Alright, I am very creeped out now
. In the middle of my thoughts, the light went back on. Sigh. What a relief. I hurriedly closed the window and looked out of it.
No one in sight. Well, at least the rain had stopped.
Okay. I shut the window, but now it's as cold as ever. I mean, FREEZING cold. What I would normally do is turn up
the heater, but it broke down a few weeks ago. I got a tingly feeling on my thigh, then I realized my phone was ringing.
I slipped it out of my pocket and looked who was calling. It was Elsie, my best friend. I answered it expecting a huge "Eep! Therese, Therese, guess what?!" Instead, I got a startling, static-y sound. It burned my ears and caused me to drop my phone. My hands clasped my ears in a desperate attempt to get the sound out. It seemed to stay stuck. After a few moments, I got to my senses and picked up my phone. Elsie put the phone down and sent me a message instead.
"Yo Therese! Are you okay? I heard a drop and a few grunts! Are you having a party or something?!"
Elsie's concern made me smile. She was one of the few people who understood me. I told her that I was fine, and she had nothing to worry about. After a few minutes of texting, we got dropped onto a rather, unsettling subject.
"Hey, have you heard about the MarbleHornets series?"
"Yeah I have, but I haven't actually watched it."
"Well, you should go check it out! The guys at school say it's all the rage!"
"And by guys you mean, yourself?"
"Well, um… YES, but… JUST CHECK IT OUT!"
"Ok, sheesh Elsie, I will."
I knew Elsie wasn't going to give up on me until I actually watched the series. For the past 15 minutes she's been
sending me these questions derived from the videos. Also, she expects me to answer each one of them correctly.
I had no other choice, so I just went with the flow. After plugging in my computer and setting it up, I went to Youtube
to search for this so-called "series." I actually thought it was a movie. So I typed it in the search bar and I got some weird results.
Well, not actually weird…but. The titles were unusual, that's all. Example: Entry# 12. I didn't actually get what was up with
the titles until I watched the series. I stopped at Entry # 15. I've got to admit it was a pretty creepy series. After a few minutes
I remembered Elsie was still sending me messages. She sent about 9 of them now. I answered most of her questions and
came on the 9th message.
"So, what do you think about Slendy?"
That threw me for a loop. I sat there thinking, and I decided that I would reply with
"Creepy and comforting?"
Time had flown so fast I didn't realize it was already 8 PM. I quickly turned off my computer and got ready for school tomorrow.
I went into the living room to retrieve my blanket. Dad was coming home tonight and he hated seeing his daughter sleeping
on the couch. I just laid there on my warm bed, when a thought had gone into my mind.
"What if Slenderman was real?"
AN: There you have it! Something that actually happened in the present :D
I would really appreciate if you would favorite this or send me reviews. All opinions are respected!
