I am the Dark Tall Man

I was nine, it was a rainy Sunday afternoon and I was hungry, went to check the pantry and saw that it was empty. So, I asked my mother to give me two dollars to buy a candy.

On the way to the market I noticed that there was a tall dark man in an alley, his skin looked like oil and his eyes were big bright circles. The man called me into the alley, for some reason I felt mesmerized. I went into the alley and the man told me the meaning of life and other wonderful things, and the more he talked, the stranger I felt.

Soon, I realized that my skin also looked like oil and my eyes shone like lamps, after that I became the Dark Tall Man's apprentice. And in 20 years, I discovered all the secrets of the universe.

Over the course of those 20 years, I realized that my teacher seemed increasingly older and downcast. Until the day he told me he was dying, and wanted me to reveal the truth to another very special boy...

...It was a rainy Sunday afternoon, I see a very special boy and lure him into an alley, I start telling him wonderful stories, and the more I talked, the more he looked like a Tall Dark Man.
