Nice Office Space reference! Yeah, this was actually my first creepypasta. The idea was a simple one: write an origin story for *a* slender man. Of course, my goal with it was to make it deeply psychological to the point where you get invested in the character and his transformation into a monster is tragic and a bit surprising. And one thing that I may not exactly have made clear in the story proper is that I really only wanted it to be an origin for one slender man, not *the* slender man. Because even as supernatural urban legends go, I find it far more plausible that there are several of them in existence, haunting different areas all over the world.
