after the classic by H. G. Wells, 1898
The first cylinder has opened on Horsell Common — and you are standing too close. Survive the heat-ray, cross a fleeing England, and outlast the Martians. Courage, cunning or luck: pick what keeps you alive.
Something unscrews inside the cylinder, slow and wet. The crowd presses forward with white flags; you remember thinking the Martians might be friendly. A thin beam of light swings toward the flags. Run NOW, or drop into the sand pit?
