667
David rang the door bell and waited nervously. Inside a light switched on. The door half opened to reveal a middle aged gentleman with an unconvincing combover.
"Hello" he said around the door.
"Hello......Um.....are you still in the soul buying business?"
"Errm........I'm sorry, who are you?" The man asked closing the door ever so slightly.
"I'm David. I was told you bought souls for........errr favours" David said, now doubting his information. "Um......I thought you'd have horns?"
The man's face showed instant recognition nodding his head.
"I see now, I'm 667. You want next door. I'm the neighbour of the beast!"

That's really clever. I like that a lot. A proper story. Though, here in the UK, the neighbour would most likely be at 668.

Ha, Ha! Now that's more like the 666 I was expecting. Good one.
