Brave New Jersey Page #4

---

east of the village of Grover's Mill,

Their bodies burned and distorted

beyond all possible recognition.

I have been requested by the governor of New Jersey

To place the counties of Mercer and Middlesex East

of Jamesburg under martial law.

Of the creatures in the rocket cylinder,

I can give you no authoritative information

to their purposes here on earth.

Of their destructive instrument,

I shall refer to the weapon as a heat ray.

Operator, yes...

Yes, this is Clark hill from Lullaby.

Hey, hello?

Hello?

Martian cylinders are falling all over the country.

One outside of buffalo, St. Louis.

The monster is now in control

of the middle section of New Jersey.

It has effectively cut the state through its center.

Citizens of the nation,

I wish to impress upon you

the urgent need of calm and resourceful action.

You have just heard the Secretary of the Interior

speaking from Washington.

Dad, are we leaving?

Mom! you can't just sit there.

I've been informed that the central portion

of New Jersey is blacked out

from radio communication

due to the effects of the heat ray

upon power lines and electrical equipment.

Here's a special bulletin.

Chardy, what's happening?

I'll take care of it.

I'll-- I'll--

Chardy!

Oh, hit my head!

You okay?

Peg, are you okay?

-Yes.

-Damn it!

Damn it!

Mom, how much more do you need to hear?

We're under attack!

You have to get up!

Ladies and gentlemen,

I have a grave announcement to make.

Those strange beings who landed

in the Jersey farmlands tonight

are the vanguard of an invading

army from the planet Mars.

Everybody, hold on! Hold on!

They're coming right toward us!

It's the end of the world!

We're all gonna die!

Mom, we're leaving.

I packed your suitcase.

Dad's outside.

Come on!

It may be the saddest forecast.

Mom...

Dad's starting the car.

We have to go.

Is there anyone on the air?

Is there anyone?

I couldn't reach my daughter in Boston.

They must have wiped out Boston!

They might have wiped out the whole damn country!

Of course they're coming for us.

We've got the fourth tallest

water tower in three counties.

All right, hold on!

The radio said that they landed in Grover's Mill.

That's only a few hours from here, isn't it?

When Sheriff Dandy gets here

he will have definitive answers, I promise.

Can anybody tell me what the f*** is going on?

Okay.

Everybody finished?

Finished screaming and yelling?

You wanna act like a bunch of goddamn fools?

Well, that'll make it nice and easy for them

when they get here, won't it?

You'll be standing around

with your tits in the wind

and those bastards will float on over

burn you alive, right where you're standing.
