The Itch

You ever have that certain type of itch, the itch that pesters you for minutes? The itch that seems to spawn from a lot of areas of your body? The Itch does that. However, unlike regular itches The Itch isn't a mere annoyance. The Itch does much more. The Itch causes you to itch for hours on end, slowly going insane and mentally unstable. Some consider it could be a form of schizophrenia; however The Itch isn't a disorder. It's almost like a disease; a disease that can be formed from prolonged exposure to hours of light; most notably bright screens of computers or other digital devices. Following those hours of brightness, the times when the individual decides to sleep with the lights off; that's when The Itch enters. The Itch begins when you're sleeping, causing you to awaken. It keeps you up for however long necessary to take your life. Nobody knows where The Itch came from, and who is its specific target. All we know is that it's pretty weird.

Well, I tried my hand at that, and failed. Hilariously stupid. Could use some work I see.

I figure I could plug my horror campfire story I wrote for a class here:

Last night I had a dream.

It was about The Rake.

Except, not. His skin was still that hairless damp flesh. However, his skin was a rotting flesh foamy green, he had the mouth of the Fluke from the X-files: http://www.tvworthwatching.com/blog/2008/07/28/x-files-fluke.jpg

And he had four arms, the second set being under his main arms, smaller and delicate, of two different sized, twitching uneasily. They were basically non-functional, but I found out why he had them when I realized he was systematically hunting down people who had extra (But invisible, almost spiritual) limbs. People's innate inner power was represented by them having a phantom arm or hand, and they couldn't see it. The Rake could. He would hunt them down, slaughter them, scratch them up, and then remove their phantom limb and attach it to his body, where it would writhe as if in pain. This Rake was young, and had only had gotten two arms, but by the end of the dream be was bristling with arms and hands that were grabbing, reaching, shuddering.

Thankfully, he could also be held at bay by a bat to the face, but he was relentless, could jump easily 20 or so feet, and at one point in my dream, attacked a pregnant woman because her child possessed some inner power he needed to have. Tiny baby arms, sticking out of his back, reaching..

Good dream, good dream.

I'm guessing most of you have probably read this one before, but my favorite creepypasta of all time is this one:

It has been reported that some victims of rape, during the act, would retreat into a fantasy world from which they could not WAKE UP. In this catatonic state, the victim lived in a world just like their normal one, except they weren't being raped. The only way that they realized they needed to WAKE UP was a note they found in their fantasy world. It would tell them about their condition, and tell them to WAKE UP. Even then, it would often take months until they were ready to discard their fantasy world and PLEASE WAKE UP

Besides the Slender Man not really needing other creatures to add to his mythology, I feel that most "monsters" wouldn't fit the mythology to begin with. There is something I thought of though...

We all know that the Slender Man prefers to stalk children. We also know that some of these children end up eviscerated and pinned to a tree. What a lot of people on these forums don't know is the association between these children, Slender Man, and mist. Slender Man was originally heralded by a thick, Silent Hill style mist that was filled with the sound of children laughing and playing. As the mist grew thicker and the Slender Man drew closer, the children would stop laughing and start screaming in pain, louder and louder until He came for you.

Victims of the Slender Man often dream of children from different periods in time. These children are usually seen playing in a school yard or forest, then one by one these children disappear. The more children disappear the worse a sense of impending doom gets for the dreamer, until they are caught in a terror. These dreams usually don't even include Slender Man, just those children. Those laughing, screaming, eviscerated children.

There's a reason for that.

These children aren't a herald for the Slender Man. They aren't a leftover remnant or projection meant to scare the next victim. They are entities of their own. While they stay close to their killer, they are now killers in their own right. The Children are always playing, always frolicking through the playgrounds and the dreams of others. They mark others. Tainted by the touch of Slender Man and his puzzling rituals, The Children have become extensions of their murderer. Filled with their own hunger for madness and death they roam the world, seeking out new victims to laugh with.

You may be asking why the children scream if they are a willing part of the violence. You may be wondering why they scream if they aren't being tortured or killed all over again. I can tell you why they scream.

They scream because they weren't finished with you yet.
