Back   I am the tallest man alive. I Aug.20.2004 - 5:55 pm Tired. That is all the explanation given after it was all over. The reasons guiding his actions may never be understood completely… I think he wanted it that way. The tallest man alive, known to us as Charles and to the children Charlie, was an incredible character. The children used to crawl on him up to his arms and shoulders. Playing on the living tree and often demanding story after story. One day the giant of a man snapped. Throwing the children off him and fleeing into the sea many miles until no longer visible. Many of the children were hurt but only one passed away. The youngest of the Ronnie family had climbed to his proudest and highest height on the giant that day. After weeks of attempting finally reaching the shoulders. Moments later falling to the ground at the peak of his young life. Why did Charlie do it? Not really important. Where was the Ronnie family when there four year old sat alone on the shoulders of a beast? Based on true events. Nouns changed because life isn't so flat.
