Read the excerpt from h. g. wells's the war of the worlds.

the end of the cylinder was being screwed out from within. nearly two feet of shining screw projected. somebody blundered against me, and i narrowly missed being pitched onto the top of the screw. i turned, and as i did so the screw must have come out, for the lid of the cylinder fell upon the gravel with a ringing concussion. i stuck my elbow into the person behind me, and turned my head towards the thing again. for a moment that circular cavity seemed perfectly black. i had the sunset in my eyes.
