Me as a proxy

What would have happened without Slender?

What would've happened to H and his family if they weren't murdered/ kidnapped

H's dad would've retired from the EMT squad and become a ER worker in about 5 years time and worked for another 25 years while H's mother would've worked at her mortuary for another 30 years

H's younger brother would've taken his love of rocks and would've become a geologist  moving to Nevada

H's sister would've stayed at Oakside and opened a Bakery where she would've ran it for 90 years becoming well known for it living to 107

H would've used his experience with the supernatural and terrifying to write horror and would've become a popular writer going by the pen-name "The Tormented Observer" known for his stories such as

"The Unlocked" about a demon who after being locked away for 300 years breaks free and begins attempting to fight the wrongs he's done, inadvertently killing thousands of people

"We simply do"
About a group of 6 people engaging in reckless behavior and evil actively seeking the approval of a force to help them before it finishes with the killing a man and disappearing

And "The Treeline"
About a reclusive hermit living in the woods being tormented by a faceless demon and shutting himself away from all outside contact In fear the demon will kill them

He was praised for his vivid descriptions and sense of paranoia he induced making the demons feel "right behind you" (he was also known for openly challenging Steven King to a boxing match and attempting to set one up)

He would return to Oakside Park at age 38 and be found having to have supposedly gotten lost and surcum to one of his genetics illnesses

Though fans joked he had been killed by one of the demons, the true cause of death was never determined

His most popular book series was "Tormented Notes" where he gave tips on making monsters and writing horror in general, it became a staple in most writing classes

Overall not a single one of them would've had any major trauma or issue without Slender so H  understandably upset
