Scrutinised

Did anyone see the falling star today? I heard it was seen early in the morning, rushing over St. Stephen’s Green, a line of flame high in the atmosphere. Hundreds must have seen it, and taken it for an ordinary falling star. I heard it described as leaving a greenish streak behind it that glowed for some seconds.

Although I was on my way to work while it fell I saw nothing of it. Yet this strangest of all things that ever came to earth from outer space must have fallen while I was walking, visible to me had I only looked up as it passed. Some of those who saw its flight say it travelled with a hissing sound. I myself heard nothing of that. Many people in the city centre must have seen the fall of it, and, at most, have thought that something like a meteorite had descended. No one seems to have been troubled to look for it.

A most curious thing.

    I couldn’t go. I was trapped under a mass of execrable red weed.
