When strange explosions started to come from Mars, the humans have to prepare for what was to come. This is inspired by Jeff Wayne's War Of The Worlds, 2005 War of the worlds and others
I am a British Journalist at Surrey, I had been there on a vacation. That night, on the 5th of July I turned on the TV, a broadcast interested me.
"This night, a thick green gas has been spotted coming from Mars, we are unsure of it's origins. Scientists have assumed that it is a Comet with a green tail. But for now, we are unsure of what it is."
As I looked through my telescope, there it was. I saw a thick green object streaking towards earth, it will be a magnificent view when it strikes the atmosphere, IF it was a comet of course.
At midnight, on the 6th of July Another huge mass of luminous gas erupted from Mars and sped towards Earth Across two hundred million miles of void, invisibly hurtling towards us Came the first of the missiles that were to bring so much calamity to Earth As I watched, there was another jet of gas It was another missile, starting on its way
The next morning, at about 4:00 AM, I heard a huge BANG! I thought that it might be a construction activity right beside my apartment, but as I looked through the window, there it was.. a huge metal cylinder, glistening green, white hot from the atmosphere, sitting in a crater. It looked like as if someone put a pizza made of metal with green dye inside of radioactive waste and popping it in a huge microwave. I'm sure that everyone heard the bang that just happened. But I decided to sleep and see for myself in a few hours.
At 8:00 AM, a crowd gathered around the field. I was too sleepy this morning so I didn't see much of what that cylinder is, and then in horror, I realized what it was.
A Martian Cylinder
UNHAND ME VICIOUS BEAST! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
A thing that haunted my childhood, my great grandfather was captured in London during the 1890s attack.
"EVERYONE STAY AWAY FROM THE CYLINDER!" I shouted, hoping everyone will notice me
"Oi! Why should we?" said someone
"A-and keep ye voice down!" a woman said who I knew was Scottish
"Trust me-" I said, before long the cylinder's top unscrewed
Everyone was hypnotized by the unscrewing and as I thought, the lid fell off
Expecting a Martian to come out, nothing...
Just then, a pod with a creature with two luminous, disk-like eyes appeared above the rim of the cylinder. 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 Martian!
"Greetings, carbon based life forms." The Martian said, with a nice British accent
"Impossible! You can talk now?!" I said with everyone now looking at me
"Why, if it isn't the great grandson of George!" It said, laughing
"How does this thing know you?!" a man said
"SILENCE! We knew each other during the invasion of Surrey in 1890, your great grandfather I believe was captured by a Handling Machine?" The Martian furiously explained
"I wasn't even born yet! you mistook me for my grandfather! Plus, it's Woking, this is Swindon! He even told me what YOU and your UGLY KIND LOOKED LIKE!" I said furiously
"You. Did not just say that. Farewell" The Martian climbed back into the cylinder
When suddenly, a tall funnel rose. And I realized that I knew what this was, the Heat Ray!
I ran away to the streets, and as I looked back, people were getting turned to fire!
This unearthly heat ray was instantly burning people to ashes.
I ran to my house, feeling safe at last..
That night, at around 7:32 PM I heard robotic sounds.
As I looked through the window, there it was. A Martian Handling Machine, a 6 legged spider of some sort, it looked the same as how my father told me, constructing another vehicle with 3 other machines. Giant tripods with that same heat ray which I knew was the fighting machine. A few men and women crept closer, and then as quick as lightning, the Handling Machine took and put them in its basket

I thought of escaping to London from Swindon but that'll take a while
