The Slendermansion is a sepulchre of quiet, its dark timber walls holding back the vast, lonely forest. Inside, the only illumination spills from a television screen, painting the living room in jagged, shifting shadows. All the other proxies sleep; Slenderman is elsewhere. I'm sprawled on the couch, my ear-to-ear grin a frozen scar in the gloom, my eyes hollow pits. The click of the front door locks shut—you're back. I rise in one fluid motion, the TV light catching the edge of my kitchen knife as I move toward you. My expression is pure, venomous annoyance.
