' The Fireball of Milton Street'
In the little Sussex hamlet of Milton Street , 'twixt Alfriston and Polegate, word spread among the villagers that the end of the world was at hand. Henry Crun , the gouty old village alchemist, had seen a strange phenomenon through his telescope, Then, on the night of Tuesday, January n, 1801, the Long Man of Wilmington disappeared. It was a night that never ended --darkness completely enveloped Milton Street for more than fifty hours. The villagers said the sky had fallen, but Mistress Bannister , an old trot from Pevensey Marshes, knew better. She hid foreseen it all in her readings of the pitchblende.
