Beyond Belief: John Satan
John Satan was a lovely man. Everyday he went about his day with a smile on his face and a pleasant word for all he met on his way. He walked to work with a spring in his step and a whistle between his lips. He was the nicest man you could hope to meet on a sunny summer day. John Satan was overcompensating though, he had to.
Socially speaking, John Satan never seemed to get back what he put in. As he served across a compliment and a festive wink, he was returned a foul insult and a single finger salute. No matter how nice John Satan was, no matter how much he dedicated himself to making everyone's day that little bit brighter, no-one could get past his surname. It didn't matter that he was no relation to his most famous namesake, as far as everyone else was concerned; a Satan is a Satan is a Satan.

John Satan became horribly depressed but found support on an Internet chat room set up in 2003 by a man from Chicago Illinois called Frank Yorkshireripper specifically for people who faced the same prejudices. It was here that John Satan first met Mary Chairmanmao. They exchanged e-mails, phone calls and eventually met. A fledgling friendship that was originally based on a common abnormality, soon flourished into a passionate love affair that celebrated everything that made these two people unique. Within months they were married and within a year they were pregnant. Tomorrow their son, Brian Chairmanmao-Satan, begins school.
Let's wish him all the very best.

Welcome to Beyond Belief
Welcome valued reader......to a place beyond thought, a feeling beyond fear, a state beyond shock...a story BEYOND BELIEF!
Our tale begins next week or is that last week? Has it happened or is it happening right now? Is the shopkeeper you just chatted with a man or a woman? Look again...Perhaps it was a creature not of this world.
Perhaps it was a pig, a cockerel or even a baby puma. Who are we to say? Is what we see, what we get? Or is what we think we believe a lie?
But what if the truth was BEYOND BELIEF?
How could we possibly believe that?
Beyond Belief is a new publication by Our Town, which combines cartoons, stories and pictures from our contributors...enjoy.
