WellesI felt as a rabbit might, when it returns to its burrow and finds a dozen busy people digging the foundations of a house. I felt that I was no longer a master, but an animal among animals, being crushed under the Martians’ heel. We would now have to lurk and watch in the shadows, running and hiding from them. It seemed as if the empire of humanity had passed away with the arrival of the Martians.***********************************************************************************************
