 I closed the dictionary, and moved to shoo out my supernatural guest. `` I guess that settles it then. You do a quick butter in refrigerator count, and I'm sure you'll find I'm right'' 
 
 
 `` But that's not what's I meant'' spluttered the Devil, `` I clearly meant fridge, big box where you keep food cool'' Little puffs of steam shot out of his ears and the brand new welcome mat, that I'd trotted out for the occasion, was beginning to smoulder. 
 
 
 `` Then you should have been clearer. Anyway, thanks for stopping by. Goodbye now. ``, I was contemplating calling the security guard in the foyer. He was generally excellent with helping residents throw out their drunken houseguests. Even waved down tips for doing so now and again. He was an ex-bouncer Id heard who'd taken up the admittedly less exciting gig so he'd have more time with his kids. 
 
 
 `` It does n't say that in the other dictionaries. I just checked. This is a scam you human scumbag. You just crossed it out with a pencil!'' My poor welcome mat had been charred through. 
 
 
 `` Just be more careful next time then. It *does* say so in mine. Remember assumption is the mother of all fuckups.'' I reached for my phone, `` Do you want me to call the foyer'' 
 
 
 `` You are cheating!'' the devil increased in size, filling up my doorway. The smell of sulphur and brimstone flooded the room as the light started to flicker. 
 
 
 `` Nope'' I said pointing to the sign next to the door reading, HOUSE RULES: ONLY THE DICTIONARY IN THE BOX COUNTS. 
 
 
 There was a hissing sound as the devil deflated. The flames around him diminished, `` I guess I ca n't go against the rules of SCRABBLE.'' 
 
 
 `` No'' I said firmly pushing him out. `` Just chalk it down to experience.'' Some people just would not leave.He had been just as bad last year when he'd given me the'prophecy'. 
 
 
 `` But I was so looking forward to the... `` 
 
 
 I slammed the door shut.
