Numbers had always been important to Jasmine. Her name has seven letters because her mother knew that to be a lucky number and she wanted her daughter to be lucky. Now, as she approached the age of eighteen Jasmine was filled with foreboding. Eighteen is three times six. Three sixes are the number of the beast. 666 is eighteen just put another way. One is a holy number, three is auspicious and seven is lucky, but six is a bad number and the triple six is a serious problem.
As her birthday got closer, Jasmine determined that she must make preparations to prevent it being the disaster that she feared. She went to see the numerologist who had advised her mother for many years. She didn't want her Mum to worry and what she had in mind was not something you could talk to your mother about, but she really didn't have any choice. She told Astorius that this was absolutely confidential. She made him swear that he would say absolutely nothing to her mother or anybody else. Astorius was quite happy about this. He was used to people who confided in him and who didn't want anybody else to know about their needs. After all he had tended to Jasmine's mother for many years in ways that Jasmine was completely unaware.
Jasmine and Astorius spoke for about four hours over three separate meetings before it was agreed what needed to be done on the eighteenth anniversary of her birth. Jasmine remembered that on her twelfth birthday, she had her first period. She had been told a little bit about menstruation without really paying attention and when it happened on the day of the double six she had thought she was cursed and going to bleed to death. She knew better now of course, but still she was sure that the bleeding on that particular day was a warning to her. On her sixth birthday she had fallen down stairs when excitedly chasing at her party and knocked out her two front teeth. There was a lot of blood then and she still lived with that event. Sixes were pain and blood. The triple six would be much worse unless she could protect against it.
Astorius was astonished when he first heard what Jasmine thought she needed to do on her birthday. He had listened in silence as she went through her fears and explained why she was so sure of terrible consequences of the power of the beast on that day. After he had satisfied himself that she knew what she was doing and was determined to go through with it, whether he helped her or not, he accepted the role of advisor and set about planning the day. His first point of contact was his golf club. There were really quite a lot of elderly members and, of course, many of the others had elderly relatives. Well, getting together seven, eighty one year old men was not going to be the easiest thing in the world and even then it was going to be a delicate issue dealing with what they would be expected to do.
Inverting the number of the beast was the most effective way of neutralising his malign power. 999 is the number of help. When assistance is required, the triple nine is the way to get it. The great beast of the apocalypse, 666, brings terror and pain. The triple nine is the way to overcome the sickening six and be gathered into the arms of saviours.
Seven is lucky and reversing eighteen cancels out its negative so seven eighty one year olds was the best possible insurance against the dangers of the dreadful day. It was one day, she had three holes and as many sevens must be worked into three by the eighty ones as could be achieved during that one day.
