I Cannot Forget Him



Estimated reading time — 4 minutes

The tall, human-like figure moved about the thick trees with no struggle at all. It was as if it was floating; it made no noise and the only movement seen was the creature lunging forward. It was graceful, yet terrifying. My eyes grew as I watched it skim over a frozen lake, and back into the trees.

I tried to make out its facial features, but I couldn’t. Perhaps it was the fog, or my lack of concentration; I was just relieved that I hadn’t seen its face, though I tried. I’m sure it was just as horrifying as the tentacle-like bones extruding from the creature’s back. Time stood still and I froze the closer I got to it. Why was I approaching this thing anyways? That I still don’t know. Something about it was inviting though… Something about it made me want to come to it.

My heart was pounding at a fast rate, but my legs were moving faster as I chased the creature. It turned a sharp corner and I turned right behind it, but stopped myself dead in my tracks when I saw that it had stopped itself.

In front of it was a small girl, around 9 years of age. She stared up at it in horror, and I feared for her life as well as mine. I tried to wave her off but to no avail; she seemed captivated by the creature’s appearance the way I had been. She slowly stood up, and as she did I fell back and crawled behind a bush. I couldn’t look away, and all I did was watch.

The creature brought its face closer to hers, and as it did her eyes grew, and she began to shake, covering her ears. She was terrified, and compared to her I had nothing to be afraid of. She was only inches away from the being, and she was now looking at it face-to-face. I’d never seen someone take in something and consider it deeply, and yet have such terror in their eyes. The little girl fell, but as I took a closer look, I could see her small chest filling with air and releasing. She wasn’t dead, but she was unconscious.

I took a closer look at it, and from my observations, I concluded that the being’s gender was male. It took her, and dragged her behind it. He was slowly creeping ahead this time, and I felt the need to follow, so of course I did so with no hesitation. I was at the point that I couldn’t even think.

After several minutes of following, he stopped at a clearing. The trees that surrounded the empty area were draped with ropes and nooses; mutilated bodies and limbs were hanging from them. One body had been hung slowly, I could tell. The fingers of what once looked remotely human had been clawing at its own throat, trying to break free from the noose. What was this? There had to be at least 30 murders committed here!

I looked in terror at my surroundings. Guts hanging out of torn skin, people with gouged out eyes. I began to panic, and soon I felt tears streaming down my face. Then, I turned my attention to the girl… The poor girl had been gutted in the short amount of time it took for me to realize where we were at.
Her eyes were gone, and her limbs had been cut off, but the creature was gripping the stubs to slow the bleeding. I only cried harder when I saw her working yet displaced lungs, and her beating heart. Everything was still working because nothing had been removed fully. She was still alive.

That’s when, with one movement, the creature ripped her heart away from what was keeping it beating. I gagged and almost vomited, but stopped myself. I couldn’t let this happen to me, not like all those other people had. I couldn’t let myself be heard, but my body was frozen, so I couldn’t turn around and run away. He then hung what was left of her body up from a rope. The surrounded trees had died, I’d noticed.

He stopped all movement while hanging the child’s left arm up… He knew of my presence, and he quickly turned around and faced me. Terror took over and I tried to let out a scream for help, but I couldn’t. I knew this is what death himself looked like. I saw nothing. He was faceless. He had no face and yet he was the most terrifying thing I’d ever laid eyes on.

Right as he turned I heard a faint shrieking noise, a very loud, ear-piercing buzzing, the kind you hear from a TV that’s lost service and shows nothing but static, and in hearing this, I saw what seemed to look like static as well. Everything around me began to spin and blur into nothing but black, though before it did, the creature revealed to me that he did have a mouth. And how he did this still pains me to think about, how he showed no pain, but instead a murderous grin. The pale skin that should have been a face slowly stretched until it ripped open in the form of a mouth. Parts of skin were still intact, and the skin on the corners of this newfound “mouth” ripped upwards to form a contorted smile. I knew I was seeing what that girl had seen, and I knew I was hearing what she’d heard as well. I was now unconscious, and I knew for sure I wouldn’t wake up.

What happens next shocked me. I didn’t know why he didn’t kill me, and I didn’t know why he’d taken me to a different part of the woods before I had a chance to wake. But for whatever reason, he spared me. And I know why, now, because I’ve read about it.

This creature was “The Slenderman,” and now that I’ve read more about him, I know now that his normal prey is children, and that alone is the only reason why he didn’t waste his time on me. Even though he’d had the perfect opportunity to kill me, he didn’t because I wasn’t a child. Maybe he simply gets a sick joy from murdering innocents, but I don’t want to know, and you shouldn’t want to either. I’d like this to be the last time I ever talk about it, though it is the only time.

Please be cautious, and for whatever reason you may go into the woods, don’t. If you decide to and you spot The Slenderman, look away right as you do, and don’t look any longer, or the same will happen to you. And trust me, once you see him, he will reveal himself to you a lot more than once. He still to this day follows me. Please don’t let the same to happen to you.

  1. Lol you guys are too wrapped up in the fact that it’s slenderman that you don’t even realize this idiot watched that poor innocent child get gutted and hanged. That’s vulgar, it makes me sick that the bastard did nothing to try and save her. I don’t give a flying fuck if I’d get gutted myself, I’m not going to turn my back on a child and let them suffer. Wow, just wow guys.

  2. Why does it gave to be slendy? I personally love him, but the creepypastas are just stupid now. The same idea, every time. A tall white guy with no features and a nice tux with tentacles, making static, living in forests, ‘n killing people. I give this a 4/10.

  3. What if you have the personality of a kid??will he go after you or just leave you alone??because im 17 and im pretty fucking immature xD

  4. “I took a closer look at it, and from my observations, I concluded that the being’s gender was male.”
    THEN WHO WAS PENIS?

  5. Nice job returning Slendy to its creepy roots as a being that kills without mercy or pity. The description of the smile is delightfully creepy. The gore adds to it here, oddly enough, where in other stories it might detract. The idea of it killing children, but not adults not only is oddly fitting, but creepy as hell – it implies it does something even worse to the adults, or that all the adults end up losing their minds…

  6. i have only 1 goal in life.to read every single creepypasta then get a good nights rest afterward
    that seems impossible.but it is my biggest goal for me.
    the most distrubing part is ……………..im 11

  7. this is not your average slenderman story. this is so origanal .how could someone make something this good for a slenderman story .plz rate it well

  8. You know what, yes, slendy is overused, and yes, I am very vocal usually in my opinion of this, but I actually liked this one a lot. I think that it was less clichéd than usual what with the mouth. I had never read a gory slenderfam story, and I think this one was actually quite scary, especially the idea of him leaving someone alive and tormenting him. Well done author.

  9. even if slender man exists and he kills children he can only harm the body not the sole so you better not be evil and also if we see it he will keep coming

  10. I greatly enjoyed this truthfully. He referred back to the moment in MarbleHornets’ Entry videos where Alex talks about the trees and the mutilations that used to occur, when it seemed like he was being controlled by Slenderman and speaking his story, really made me smile in this. Then the smile, I have not read many where put so much detail into the smile. I give this a 8/10, not a perfect for the simple fact that the ending was very disappointing.

  11. Since we’re talking about him only killing children and not adults, has anyone considered the fact that he might seem children as pure and kills them so they don’t grow up to be tainted as most adults tend to be?

  12. Im pretty sick of slender man now I must admit. He was awesome for the first few storys but got there are way to many now. They also seem to be totally inconsistent with each other also >.> . Hes so fleshed out now that hes no longer scary.

    Ah well still not as bad as jeff the killer. He was awesome for the first story… until more storys came out… He was originaly just a super psycho with a completely screwed up scary face. Then all of a sudden in new storys he gained the ability to teleport and is now also invincible. It seems Jeff just evolved into freddy krueger or some over cheese as super villain all of a sudden. Im not even going to mention that trash rip of jane the killer -_- . Im pretty sure slender man has gone down the same watered down path. Especially since that game came out that brought him to most peoples attention.

  13. THIS IS THE WRITER!
    Thank you a lot for your comments. xD I really shouldn’t have stories reviewed by Slenderman fanatics… I agree with most of you, it WOULD have been better had I not said it was Slendy. Whooo, regrets. Thank you for the comments. I’d like to say, though, that when I wrote this I had no idea about the game. I only knew that he fucked up cameras and some things of the sort… I failed to mention the camera. *Facepalm*, I’ll view this one as a fail because of the mistakes, and try to write better in the future. :) I’ve only ever written one other pasta, and I’ve submitted another one completely different than this one. HOPEFULLY it works out better! Ha.

    1. That moment when your reading this story and you remember that your still 11 ( for me that is) and you think to you’r self "I’m fucked"

  14. I noticed how you made him getting captured the same way it happens in the recent “Slender” video game. As in, how you can hear static and the screen fills up with it.

    I’m not sure that that’s what the person themselves see, but rather, the person playing the game.

  15. The whole Slendy thing’s become really old with all the stories and pictures and the video game and whatnot. And it’s all the same: a mysterious well-dressed creature killing people in gruesome ways. It would be great if someone could do a pasta that takes a step forward from here, not just repeat the bullshit that’s been done already. Explain things, you know? Move the story on.

  16. You really went overboard at the ending. You didn’t have to say it was slenderman, but you could have left it where it was at the paragraph before that, just implying the idea…

    Also, you didn’t have to explain who he was at the end and do the “It’ll happen to you” cliché, you could have left it at “But for whatever reason, he spared me, and I’m afraid the next person might not be that lucky.” or something around those lines, leaving the ending to our imaginations.

    Other than that, nom nom nom!!

    BUT WHO WAS LITTLE GIRL?

  17. Tenses, please choose one and stay with it. You started out in past tense, then switched to present tense. It throws the reader off when tenses are switched. “I took a closer look at it, and from my observations, I concluded that the being’s gender was male.” … Oh awkward. Not only are you checking out the genital area while you’re trying to hide from the thing, but it’s also an awkward place (and way) for you to mention the thing you’re following is a dude.

    It had some beautiful descriptions, but I agree with some of the other comments in saying that Slendy is starting to be a little over done. Along with the whole ‘This happened to me, I really hope it doesn’t happen to you’.

  18. Also: the whole “I’ve read about him on Creepypasta.com and other blogs, and yeah, I know he’s a cliche and a meme, but I REALLY saw him in REAL LIFE, you have to believe me!” schtick is bullshit.

  19. Yeah, I’m pretty much fed up with Slenderman by now. Maybe it’s just me, but the whole concept of this creature doesn’t scare me at all. A faceless murderer in a suit? Come on.

  20. Wow, Blah. No one cares. I enjoy how famous this dude is, and amazingly how all stories make sense when compared with eachother. Really cool.

  21. I am so sick of hearing these slender man stories it was getting good until I saw the words slender man and then I was like I can’t read it any more its just so stupid

      1. The Harbinger of the End

        You should have made it something besides slendy everyone is tired of endless slenderman stories

    1. You guys need to stop hating on SlenderMan.I personally love reading his stories overused or not.So stop complaining already >_>
