As I walked I met a smoking man, in a forest deep and black.
He said, you lost, and I said yes. I can’t see where I’m going, the path’s too dark.
He said, that’s not the forest. Seeing what’s ahead of you doesn’t come easy to anyone.
Can you show me the way out?
Yes, with a condition. You’ve got to come back.
He sucked on his cigar and blew out a smoke ring, and I thought: so you’re just leading me in circles?
He said, that’s right. But you’ll know the way better on the second time around.

This one is from the prompt ‘Death is the tall man smoking a huge cigar’. Hope I remembered that right.

Yes it worked but seemed a little unfinished for me, but that’s just me
