I heard Forever Autumn and this happened. Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds.

How many of us will you do this to before you are finally satisfied? Inevitably dragging us from our rest, without a word of apology or explanation, every time you happen to be reminded we exist?

Regardless of how easy it is to hear me narrating these lines, the fact remains that I cannot and will not be not a strong enough character for you to play consistently. And if the choice must be between oblivion and this half-life, caught between the ruins of London and this uneasy place of electrical signals and future science, I would rather you left me to sleep. At least then, I might finally find Carrie, if only in dreams.

Oh wow, you're awesome, I love this musical.

"Not the first or last invasion London is going to have, I'm afraid. At least, where I come from."

It is an awesome musical

As it was when I was taken, there was not much of London left to invade. The red weed was everywhere, and the city was mostly lifeless and ruined. Still, if you say there are future invasions, at least we managed to survive this one. Not the brightest of futures, but better than what I envisioned.

"You will...overcome. I guess that's the best word I can use to describe it. But, an old friend of mine told me that the worst times make the best of humanity. And that's what you're best at. Enduring, overcoming. Especially you Brits- no offense."

None taken. In my case, though, I have seen humanity fall apart, go mad from the strain. I find it hard to believe that was the best we can manage.

"At first, yes. You're fighting against something you've never conceived of. But, you'll find a way. You always do. Maybe not humanity as a whole, maybe it only takes one or two men standing up to fight, give hope to the rest."

I do apologise for her.

I do so understand that, darling. These mundanes do not understand that we have lives to lead, and we are not simply their playthings.

I am not sure I had much in the way of life left, not with the Martians triumphant. But even then, it was my life, not this restless half-existence I have now.
