The Slender Man Legend: The Dark Entity

On a dark morning, George, an 18-year-old young man, woke up early as usual for the first day of school. He went to his younger brother William, who was 14, to wake him up. However, as George approached his brother's room, he heard terrifying screams coming from inside.

"William, wake up!" George shouted anxiously.

"Thank God, it was just a nightmare..." William said, his voice trembling as he gasped for breath.

"What did you see in your dream? Why were you screaming like that?" George asked with concern.

William, his face showing clear fright, replied, "It was him..."

"Who?" George wondered, puzzled.

"The faceless man!" William said, shivering.

"Enough with these hallucinations. Get ready; we don't want to be late for school," George ordered firmly.

"But..." William started to protest.

"No more talking, get up now!" George insisted.

William got up and headed to the bathroom while George prepared breakfast. William was surprised to see his brother doing chores and asked, "It's rare to see you doing these things!"

"Mom and Dad are away, so I have to take care of the house and you," George replied.

"But..." William started, but he stopped when he noticed his brother’s smile. George laughed and said, "It’s the first time your parents have left you; don’t be scared, you’ll get used to it."

"I'm not a spoiled little kid!" William retorted, his face turning red.

George laughed, "Don’t get angry like that."

"You always treat me like this!" William said, walking away.

"Alright, have your breakfast. We need to go now. I’ll take you to the bus," George said.

As they ate breakfast, William seemed distracted, staring at the nearby forest as if he was examining something mysterious.

"Make sure you have your things; we’re leaving now," George said.

"Okay..." William replied, his voice shaky.

Suddenly, William froze, his eyes widening in terror as his face showed intense fear. He was staring at the forest, where something terrifying was lurking.

"Are you alright?" George asked anxiously.

But William didn't respond and continued to stare in horror. George, irritated, said, "I’m talking to you; can’t you hear me?"

Suddenly, George stepped back, his expression changing when he saw what William was looking at. Standing there was a tall, thin figure with a faceless appearance, dressed in a black suit and red tie. Despite the dense trees in the forest, it was clear that this was no ordinary human.

"What are you two doing here?" asked the bus driver, noticing the fear in George and William’s faces.

The brothers were horrified, their hearts nearly stopping. Realizing that the driver was the one speaking to them, they looked back at the spot where the creature had been, but it had vanished as if it had never been there.

George and William boarded the bus, remaining silent until they returned home. George was planning how to tell William about what had happened once they were back at the house.

George asked the bus driver, "Did you see anyone in the forest near us, wearing a black suit and red tie?"

"No, I didn’t see anyone matching that description," the driver replied, puzzled.

"But the trees were so tall!" George said in disbelief.

"I’ve never heard of anyone matching that description," said the driver, still puzzled.

George fell silent, thinking that saying more might make the driver think he was crazy. He thanked him and returned to his seat next to William.

When they arrived at school, the driver looked at George with a strange expression and said, "You weren’t crazy. You saw the slender man, didn’t you?"

George and William were stunned. "What?"

The driver said, "He appears in dreams first to terrorize his victims. He targets your brother and you because he knows you will cause him trouble as long as you’re with your brother."

"Did he make me see him?" George wondered in shock.

"Yes, he chooses who sees him and who does not. He appeared in 1979 and continues his crimes to this day. His goal is to abduct young children. No one knows his true purpose, but those who fall into his grasp face certain death."

"How do you know all this?" George asked.

The driver replied, "I was a hunter before becoming a driver. I tried to track down that creature to prove it was just a myth, but he killed the hunters with me. I’m the only survivor. I lost my family because of him and want to save anyone I can."

The driver revealed a large wound on his chest, like a big hole, and said, "I survived by a miracle, but it cost me my daughter and wife. My daughter disappeared, and my wife was killed in a gruesome way."

As the driver spoke, many tentacle-like arms emerged from the bus window and quickly abducted him.

George grabbed his brother William's hand, and they ran to the school. George felt that the arm that took the driver was protruding from the creature he had seen for the first time.

At school, William went into a frenzy, shouting, "We can’t go out; we’ll all perish! We’ll all perish!" and laughed maniacally.

George, in anger and shock, said, "Don’t you have any responsibility?"

Then he struck William, rendering him unconscious.

George thought of a way to get out of this situation. He decided to call the police but didn't have a phone. He hid William somewhere and wrote a note for him in case he woke up.

George rushed to William’s teacher, borrowed the phone, and when he went outside to call the police, he noticed the phone was static and difficult to control. When he was outside, he saw the creature walking towards the forest with a child in hand.

George ran towards them, shouting, "William, let go of his hand! Stay away from him!"

But no one responded. Both vanished into the forest. George tried to follow them, and when he reached their location, he found the driver’s body, disfigured and horrifying, and a message written in blood that said, "You will die."


George felt Slender Man's arms wrapping around his body, trying to cut them with a knife, but one of them restrained his arm. He found himself face to face with Slender Man, who grinned a terrifying smile.

The next day, George and William’s parents returned from their trip and reported to the police. They found George’s body disfigured and William missing. The authorities attributed the death to a wild animal due to claw marks on the body, and the public was barred from entering the area.

This was the story of "Shadow of Terror: The Slender Man Legend," a tale of the merciless entity that kills without evidence and from which no one escapes.
