@drskyskull I'm curious who has actually read The Invisible Man. Likewise for War of the Worlds, and The Time Machine.

@lauren

That must have really baked your noodle for a while!

By the way, for those mentioning Pratchett, that was an homage to H.G. Wells' The Magic Shop.

Useless quote for 23 July:

"Our estimates vary with our moods; the time may be much longer than our hopes and much shorter than our fears."

~ H. G. Wells, 1920

The War of the Worlds - In Real Time'

'Reunions'

Wells, back in his own mind, and taking advantage of the free trains running from Waterloo, returns to Woking to be reunited with his wife.

While Toni receives word from her friend (Well’s brother) that he had survived the war in a French refugee camp.

And for those still with us we explore what the future will bring for those who have shared their lives with us during this fictionalised docudrama, starting with the 1900 election and David Lloyd George’s landside victory that resulted in Salisbury’s coalition of Unionists and Conservatives being reduced to a mere rump as the Liberals win 54% of the vote, while the Labour Representation Committee, later to become the Labour Party, wins 25%.

To Commemorate Victory Over the Martians'

As the Daily Mail resumes publication with a special commemorative edition, Wells recovers sufficiently to bid farewell to London, but before he leaves he ventures out one more time to observe the return of its inhabitants.

And for Toni, released from the massive responsibility of operating the only functioning ‘hospital’ in London, her mind can turn to other things – like what to do now, and what the future might look like.

Today is Monday 28 June 1897

As HG Wells wanders through London in a fugue, the city begins to return to life around him.

Today the Queen attends a service in Balmoral to mourn those lost.

And for Toni, this is a defining day. For much of July, she’s been at the forefront of things. Now, there’s an attempt to shunt aside the women who stepped up when others didn’t.

Today is Sunday 27 June 1897

With the news that the Martian’s are dead, the army moves south to restore order, even as Queen Victoria acts to seize and protect all Martian artifacts by establishing #RotchWood to take ownership of all property previously belonging to the Martians.

Once again, Toni has little time to speculate on much except saving lives. However, her diary references her growing understanding of the politics of the time.

'The Cost of Deliverance'

Despite the momentous events of the preceding day, Toni and Grace have no time to spend sitting around. There are too many people still needing help. Apart from a brief description of the end of Saturday’s trek. Toni continues to assist the infirm.

As we accompany Wells to the Martian’s last redoubt at Primrose Hill, from where he can look down upon the ruins of London, news reaches the Continent that the Martians are dead and aid begins to roll in.

'Cry: Ulla, Ulla, Ulla'

Today, we follow Wells (to some extent a victim of the Martians) as he passes through the heart of an apparently dead London, witnessed only by the mournful cry of ‘Ulla Ulla Ulla’ in the distance.

Against this, Toni’s diary chronicles the events of this momentous day through the eyes of a survivor. Even though strange sounds echo through London, she and Elizabeth Cadbury make the trek north to collect more supplies for the hospital. Along the way, they encounter an empty Martian machine, and the first incredulous seeds of hope are sown.

'A Meeting of Future Enemies'

On the edge of Wimbledon Common Wells meets the artilleryman he first met at Woking so many days before. The artilleryman has not seen any Martians for 5 days and they discuss his plans for resistance.

And FOR THE FIRST TIME we disclose the identity of Wells' 'artilleryman'.

In London Toni continues to be thankful for those who were left or stayed behind. Edith Cavell, who would, during The German War, be shot by the Germans for helping soldiers of both side, organises the nursing staff at Queen Anne’s Mansion, and the oldies who have found purpose despite their abandonment.

Toni continues to struggle with her own feelings of abandonment by the government of the day, and we begin to see her political awakening as she starts to appreciate that there may be more beyond achieving the vote. Now she has begun to question who should be in government.

Today is also the last we hear of Morant, who disappears while leading a force to release any humans still held prison in the Martian’s redoubt on Primrose Hill.

'Wells Escapes the House'

Wells is drawn out of the house he had been imprisoned in Sheen by the sight of a dog fossicking around the Martian pit. Over the course of the day we follow his progress through Kew before he breaks into the inn at the top of Putney Hill to spend the night.

While elsewhere in London, Morant is focussed on a tripod that had been found motionless in Lambeth.
