Story Starter
There was once a giant who lived in a small town. He was called the lonely giant not because he did not have any friends but because he found it hard to make friends.
Everyone had tried to make his acquaintance, but the permanent scowl on his face drove even the friendliest of faces away. One fateful day, a fire spread rapidly across town, leaving the town with nothing but charcoal and polluted air. Everything was razed save for the tiny field that the giant owned.
