"Well, it's, uh, kind of, uh, I suppose you'd say it's an obsession. Oh, uh, on the other hand, I guess you have to have a thing quite a while before you could call it an obsession. This has only been bothering me since day before yesterday. So I suppose maybe we'd better call it, uh, a premonition."
This is a story about a man who finds the number three recurring throughout his life. He hears the number whispered; his telephone rings three times; he finds three pennies. Again and again he encounters the number 3 and becomes increasingly agitated. And then three men introduce themselves to him and indicate that he'll be leaving his home - in 3 days! And still he finds the number three everywhere he turns...
"Three" was originally broadcast November 10, 1947. You can listen to the episode at Quiet, Please.org.
