THE METAL MAN

The devil's nemesis Made from all things metal,

I was but a lost soul wandering through the universe when I ran into this Satan guy. He promised to make me a man, but in reality I am nothing more than a monster! I am doomed wander the Universe all alone, for there is no such thing as the Metal Woman'" Poor Metal Man is living proof of the devil's mischief.

"Walk gently upon the earth for she is our mother," he said. Regrettably stolen from the stage of the Glenworth Valley Festival, a reward still stands for his safe return. His disappearance is as much a mystery as to how he came to be washed up on the beach in the first place.
