I wasn't always 3'8". No, really! I was one of the big guys beyond the six foot mark. I was 6'4". I have pictures to prove it, or rather, I did at one point in time. After the change, well, who would believe me? They'd laugh me off as a look-alike midget, and I'd probably end up in one of those Law & Order episodes where the look-alike killed off the original to assume their life. No, I have a new name now.
The guy who changed my life went by the nickname "Slim". He's a tall, lanky man, always wearing that blue fedora that made him easily recognizable even in the most crowded room. He had this remarkable ability to turn every conversation into a bet. We could be talking about the sky being blue and Slim's just cooking up a bet in his head to earn a few more coins for his pockets.
Like I said, I was 6'4". Went a little soft in the middle by the time I hit my 30th birthday but that was fine, it went well with my muscles. I did some training at the Gym to try to keep up appearances, even as more hair sprouted on my body, making me look more bear than man. When I realized that keeping a beard was easier than shaving, I tossed the razor in the garbage.
