Nostradamus: The Secret Quatrain

When Two Score and four,

Sits beneath the Eagles claw.

Two thousand and three times Four,

Fire and storm on the Earth Shall Pour.

Only released today, by secret text message. This is the translation of Nostradamus' lost quatrain.

I cannot tell from where my text came today. It only told me to go to a URL which told me of the new quatrain found one hundred years ago in a Roman library.

The quatrain was found on a scrap of paper tucked into the spine of a copy of the Vulgate Bible.

Not long ago a copy of Nostradamus' writings were found, part of the last page torn out. This very scrap fitted the torn portion of the Lost Book perfectly.

It seems clear that the quatrain, refers to the present day, well 2012.

The two score and four is obviously a reference to the President, Barak Obama is the forty-fourth President. the Eagle is reference to the Emblem of the President of the US.

The date is clearly defined as 2012. This ties in with previous prophicies of a world wide cataclysm.

The rain and fire, could well point to solar flares. Even NASA has recently forecast a surge in solar flares through 2012 as the sun enters an active flare cycle.

Coming together with a number of prophecies from Stonehenge to the Mayan Calendar it is the final part of the puzzle which has been kept secret from the people.

It seems clear that the secret was not meant to be released. Within minutes of receiving the text this morning the posted URL had gone down.

Dark forces seem to be lurking all around. My computer reported it was being downloaded and I received a silent phone call on my cell phone.

I am planning to take to the hills. It will be easy to hide for a while. The truck is packed and there is a cabin which I know with good all around views.

Beware my friends of secret texts which you receive. You too may be in receipt of information which they don't want you to know.

This is a work of fiction and is intended as the first part of a series of short stories.
