Wadlow

(2023)

By Tom BakerPublished about a year ago 1 min read

I was riding a ramp in a room right up to the ceiling, on a unicycle with an immensely tall man I took to be Robert Wadlow (or his ghost because God knows he's been dead a long time) standing beside the ramp, taller than it; and down below, some irate radio host of a SAVAGE nature who changed his name from what you put on a weenie bun is making bad talk about my brand of transport. And the ceiling is white.

I can't peddle to the top of the ramp. It goes right up. And Robert is stooping over, and ALL WAS.

Is this a day at The Circus with Chaplin time travelers just around the corner, talking into their hands?
