I never know when it'll show up... the tall, thin man.
At first I thought it was a trick of psychology.... my mind trying to pick out human forms amongst the branches when I looked at my photographs. But I kept seeing it... always in the background, barely discernible... but still there. I am, or, well, was, a photographer by trade you see, so I take a lot of photos, and it seemed so odd that I wasn't noticing this figure... I had to be observant, or otherwise something like that could throw off a photo's composition.
That was a little over a year ago, though. The figure, the... the slender man has been showing up with more and more regularity since then. But now... now I can see it. I'll look into the screen of my camera, and there it'll be, still as a statue, but still there. I of course then look up from the camera, but when I do, it's always gone. I thought that somehow, it was a trick of my lens... I took the camera to the shop and everything. But it didn't help.
I suppose you're probably wondering why I'm taking this moment, right now, after a year of this to finally say anything. Well... you see, since I only saw the... thing... in photos or through my camera... it somehow seemed distanced from me. It was creepy, but not alarming. That is until about five minutes ago.
Five minutes ago, when I looked out my window... and past my reflection in the pane, there it was; looking in at me through the glass, or at least, seeming to; its pale face featureless. I blinked, and it was gone. And now, there's a strange smell... like chemicals, no, like ozone. I keep looking at the window, but nothing seems to be out there. There's just the trees beyond, and my reflection in the glass.
Oh god... There's something else, reflected behind me. I think it's insi
I know, this isn't what you guys come here for. I'll draw a werewolf or something soon. But I was doing some test manipulations for future use in my tumblr for Inside Follower, and this version is one of the ones that didn't make it in... However, I still really like it regardless.
