If you’re very unlucky, you might begin to notice a three digit number, and then a little while later notice that you have noticed it rather a lot. It could be 712 or 439 or 876, or any other combination.
But you’ll see it, over and over. On walls. In a card in a window. Carved into a tree. Daubed on to a bus shelter. Spelled out with leaves in a field, or in three small cairns of stones. Over and over, everywhere.
You’re not meant to have seen this number, and the bad news is that your noticing it has itself been noticed. If you are out and get that prickling at the back of your neck that makes you think that you are being watched then you are right, you are.
There is very little time to spare, so run to a phone box, pick up the handset and key in those three numbers, just once, but very quickly. Help will come sooner than you think.
There aren’t as many phone boxes around as there used to be though, so I hope that this time you are lucky.
