In The War of the Worlds, Book 2, Chapter 8, the narrator walks through a devastated and eerily silent London, expecting to face death at any moment. But to his shock, he finds the Martians have all died — killed not by human weapons, but by Earth’s tiniest creatures: bacteria and germs to which they had no resistance. As the Martian threat collapses, the narrator is overwhelmed with a mix of relief, grief, and wonder at humanity’s narrow escape from extinction.
