| Name | Ricky |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was dark at the very front of the thing, like a thing on fire falling from the sky. (That may be the very definition of a fireball, but it was my first one.) i\'m sure that if the hill hadn\'t been in the way it would have been visible longer than five seconds. |
