A Short Story

When Postman Pat met Superman

By Sfdgoz

One foggy night, "Come on Jess" called Postman Pat "I wonder where that cat has got to know" he muttered to himself before setting off to find Jess, he walked a couple of miles before he bumped into a strange figure "ouch" went pat as he hit the tall figure, it was massive strong and definitely not Jess, Pat wondered whether it was a new postman as he saw that the figure was blue but then he saw a yellow diamond on the figures chest and withdrew his previous thought, "Is this Metropolis" said the figure in a firm yet calm tone "no" said Pat who was a little bewildered "its Greendale".

Pat decided to invite the strange man back to his house for some dinner, the strange man had also found Jess for Pat, he then sat down with the man at the dinner table and asked "what is your name, sir?" "Superman" replied the man "Funny name" thought Pat, "is this Greendale, Wisconsin" said Superman "No" said Pat its "Greendale, Cumbria, England" Superman sighed and responded "I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere along the way" "thanks for the food" he said to Pat and before Pat could respond Superman took off into the night sky.

Unfortunately for Pat when he tried to tell the story about the flying American they put him in a mental clinic until he stopped the nonsense about flying men in tights.

As Pat slept in his padded cell he swore he could hear that weird man laughing as he flew back to his destination.
