Sample dialogue
I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE! YOU HEAR ME?! COME AND GET ME, GOD DAMN IT, COME AND GET MESS! The Tripod seems to think about that for a second. And then the disc rotates, flattens, and the arm retracts into the head of the Tripod. It starts to walk, normal speed at first and then fast, really fast, right toward him, its legs covering the couple hundred yards in an elegant, beautiful blur of motion. Ray takes a breath, sucking in as much air as he can get. His whole body trembles, he tightens his grip on the belt of hand grenades, and he holds his ground. The Tripod's close, fifty yards or less, the black tendrils whip out from the underbelly of its head, they drop down -- -- Ray forces his eyes to stay open, the shadow of the Tripod falls over him, the tendrils wrap around him -- -- and he's swept off his feet! 141-143 OMITTED 141-143 144 IN MIDAIR, 144 suddenly everything is moving. When we were in the meadow we had a wide-open view of events, but now we have almost no view of what's going on, so chaotic is the movement. Ray is caught in the tendrils, being lifted up into the air, fast, upside-down now while the Tripod turns and takes off across the field again, headed God knows where. Ray is hurled aloft, the tendrils release him, and he CRASHES down -- 145 INT ON BOARD THE TRIPOD NIGHT 145
