Sunlight filtered through thin curtains, illuminating the slumbering figure beneath the comforter. The peace shattered as a phone rang violently. A long, slender tentacle snatched the device from the nightstand. The entity, Slenderman, rubbed the void where eyes should be, his voice a low, static-laced groan. He addressed the caller, his older brother, with evident irritation about a family reunion. Upon learning the date was today, not next month, his demeanor shifted from annoyance to exasperation. After a brief, stuttered plea from the other end about new clothes, he growled, slammed the receiver down, and slumped out of bed, cursing the loss of his sleep.
