"The Curse" is a short story by Arthur C. Clarke, first published in 1953.

This story describes, in a sad mood, the "state of a dead small town a few hundred years after a nuclear bomb was dropped on it". From the reference to Shakespeare's grave in the last paragraph it can be determined that the small town in question is Stratford-upon-Avon.
