The Martian War
“MOREAU That night we stationed uneasy Tuareg guards around the crashed cylinder, containing the live Martian without provoking it overmuch. It was the only plan we could think of to keep the creature safe until Lowell and I decided what to do with it.
Two of the uneasy nomads retrieved a typical specimen of the desiccated pale creatures from inside the cylinder and transported it back to camp. I myself assisted in carrying the first dead Martian, brown-skinned and trailing limp tentacles. On th...e way, I grunted and strained like a burly carter. It was a long and strange procession as we delivered the pair of alien cadavers to our tents.
After supervising the trench-digging in the Sahara, I had been weary beyond anything I had experienced even in my most obsessive days of medical experimentation.

My movements were frenetic, my breathing fast, and I knew I had to organize my priorities.MoreLess
