The Prelude is scaring me

I finished sketching out some more of the storyline last night, and wrote a quick prelude, just to introduce the main character.

The prelude ended up being 666 words long.  I couldn't have that, so I found a contraction that I split apart and made it 667.

This morning I opened it back up and it was at 666 again.  The contraction had reverted.  I'm sure I saved it and there aren't any other versions of it on my laptop, either.

I'll try again, but if this happens even once more, I think I'll have to start chalking out a magic circle before I write any more.
