This month’s word is tall, meaning “having a relatively great height; of more than average stature”, “large in amount or degree; considerable” or “extravagant; difficult to believe”.
This is late also, sorry. So it’s very short.

I always wanted to be tall, to tower over my peers. I thought it would make me feel powerful.
Well I got my wish. It was the usual thing, find an old lamp, help an old woman, the usual nonsense where they turn out to be magical and you get a wish.
And my wish was to be taller than anyone else I knew. Taller than any human had ever been. So they turned me into a giraffe.
And that’s why you should never accept wishes.
