Hello Mister.
My Momma says not to talk to strangers.
No, Mister, it’s just me.  I lost my ball out here.  
You’re really tall.
Are you sure?  
If you say so.
Thanks, I think.
Do you live out in the woods, Mister?
It looks nice out there.  
You’re dressed awfully nice for living in the woods.
What kind of business?  
Oh, okay.  
Hey Mister, how come you can talk with no mouth?
Oh… I’m sorry.  I didn’t know.  
Is that why your eyes are gone too?  
Oh.  Okay then.  That must’ve been sad.  
Huh?  An adventure?
Are you sure?  My Momma says not to go anywhere with strangers.
It’ll be fun, right?  And safe?
You promise?  
Okay, if you say so, Mister.  
Do you have a name?  Mine’s Kyle.
You don’t?  But everyone should have a name!
You can be the Tall Man.
The folly of youth.

Is this based off that movie The Tall Man?
