Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorised Autobiography: Part 2

By LEMONY SNICKET

Dear Mr. Handler, the letter began,

We have contacted you, Lemony Snicket's official representative in all legal, literary, and social matters, because of a rather enigmatic - a word which here means "mysterious" - matter which has captured our attention.

The story begins not too long ago at our offices. As you may recall, our offices are located in a tall, imposing building with a wide, imposing lobby and a middle-aged, imposing doorman, usually dressed in a coat that is too big for him, standing at the entrance to direct visitors to the elevators. On this particular day, the doorman on duty was a man who had been keeping a faithful diary for more than twenty-seven years, writing down every detail of his life with a ballpoint pen, and, when the pen ran out of ink and there was no stationery store nearby, a small piece of charcoal.
