There were many aspects of this shorter story that I really loved. Wells has a great ability to make things feel so ominous and mysterious, you never know what may be actually happening on top of the narrator taking his time in telling the story and leaving way for all sorts of cliff-hangers and things to be revealed later on. This is for sure a must-read for anyone who loves science fictions or eerie feeling stories. It has an interesting view on the outcome of humanity as well that serves for some introspection to the goodness we can see within it still today, and almost feel sad for the fictional turn we may take in the future.
