It seems totally incredible to me now that everyone spent that evening as though it were just like any other. from the railway station came the sound of shunting trains, ringing and rumbling, softened almost into melody by the distance. it all seemed so safe and tranquil.
next morning a crowd gathered on the common, hypnotized by the unscrewing of the cylinder. two feet of shining screw projected when suddenly, the lid fell off. two luminous, disk-like eyes appeared above the rim. a huge rounded bulk, larger than a bear, rose up slowly, glistening like wet leather. its lipless mouth quivered and slathered, and snakelike tentacles writhed as the clumsy body heaved and pulsated.
a few young men crept closer to the pit. a tall funnel rose and an invisible ray of heat leapt from man to man, and there was a bright glare as each was instantly turned to fire. every tree and bush became a mass of flames at the touch of this savage, unearthly heat.
people clawed their way off the common, and i ran too. i felt i was being toyed with, that when i was on the very verge of safety this mysterious death would leap after me and strike me down. at last i reached maybury hill, and in the dim coolness of my home i wrote an account for my newspaper before i sank into a restless, haunted sleep.
i awoke to alien sounds of hammering from the pit and hurried to the railway station to buy the paper. around me, the daily routine of life, working eating, sleeping, was continuing serenely as it had for countless years. on horsell common, the martians continued hammering and stirring, sleepless, indefatigable, at work on the machines they were making. now and again a light like the beam of a warshipand's searchlight would sweep the common, and the heat ray was ready to follow.
in the afternoon, a company of soldiers came through and deployed along the common to form a cordon.
that evening, there was a violent crash and i realized with horror that my home was within reach of the heat ray.
at dawn, a falling star with a trail of green mist landed with a flash like summer lightning. this was the second cylinder.
Me parece totalmente increíble para mí ahora que todo el mundo pasó esa noche como si fuera igual que cualquier otro. desde la estación de tren llegaba el sonido de los trenes de maniobras, zumbidos y ruidos, suavizado casi en melodía por la distancia. todo parecía tan seguro y tranquilo.
mañana siguiente, una multitud se reunió en el común, hipnotizado por el desenroscado del cilindro. dos pies de brillante tornillo proyectada cuando, de repente, la tapa se cayó. dos discos luminosos, similares a ojos apareció por encima del borde. una enorme masa redondeada, más grande que un oso, se levantó lentamente, brillando como el cuero mojado. su boca sin labios temblaron y untado, y los tentáculos serpiente se retorcía como el cuerpo torpe y dejó escapar palpitaba.
unos cuantos jóvenes se acercó más a la fosa. un embudo de altura se levantó y un rayo invisible de calor saltó de hombre a hombre, y había un resplandor brillante a medida que cada instante se volvió a disparar. cada árbol y arbusto se convirtió en una masa de llamas en el toque de este calor salvaje y sobrenatural.
personas con garras su camino fuera de lo común, y me encontré también. me sentí que estaba siendo jugado con, que cuando yo estaba en el borde mismo de la seguridad de esta misteriosa muerte saltaban detrás de mí y me golpee abajo. por fin me llegó Maybury Hill, y en el
