Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Satan otherwise known as Lucifer or the devil. In fact I am so often spoke of that I have numerous aliases. Among them Old Tar, Prince of Darkness, Beelzebub, Mephistopheles, Lord of the Flies, the Antichrist, Father of Lies, Moloch. But forget all that just call me Satan, has a nice ring to wouldn’t you say? Through the ages I have waltzed hand in hand with dictators grand from the Russian Czars to Napoleon, Hitler, Lecter and a horde of evil doers of all rank and file of shadow forces and “mud shadows.”

But enough about me, I want to tell you the story of Gideon David Graham, a man called to spread the word of God in Boone County Missouri. I shall accompany Gideon as the proverbial fly in the wall and in the ointment for the simple reason that I have fallen from grace was exiled from heaven and I’m as bored as hell, Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Dirty work but somebody has to do it. It is simple physics, ‘for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.’ You see God is the primary force in the universe and I am the equal and opposite force. There you have it. The devil you say?
