Note: As I sit here in JFK airport, a good 36 hours after I was supposed to leave it the temptation, this prompt strikes me as more than a little ironic. However, I have chosen not to write about this week's "Bomb Cyclone" in New York.
Sarah was fascinated to discover, in the depths of a small library in Cumbria, the diary of a local JP and amateur fossil hunter from the 19th century. He recorded sightings of "unusual" wildlife and there was even a description of a strange stationary light that appeared upon a hill and yet, as far as Sarah could tell, he never connected the mysterious creatures with his fossil collection and growing library, nor linked the lights to the appearance of the creatures. He considered most of the events to be local folklore above which he, as a rational man, had risen.
