The War of the Worlds: Book 2, Chapter 3
"...terrible as was the danger we incurred, the attraction of peeping was for both of us irresistible." p. 127 of The War of the Worlds

I know I would have.
I also know that (with my luck) I would have been stuck in hiding with someone that "had absolutely incompatible dispositions and habits of thought and action" as me. (p. 127)ย 
"I tried in vain to conceive some plan of escape; but afterwards, during the second day, I was able to consider our position with great clearness." p. 130
2. I gotta say...the narrator seems like someone I'd want to be stuck with during an extraterrestrial crisis. He's got a level head on his shoulders and while I fancy myself a level-headed thinker, I think I realize that I'd be FREAKING OUT and all thoughts of logic would have flown free days ago.

What some of our members said:
"I think I would take turns at being both. When we have had ice storms that result in power outages, no running water, no toilets, no heat, etc, I have done well for the most part (this is an example of a traumatic experience and my reactions). Some ofย the times I was alone, and some of the times my husband was home. The real test for me was how long I could keep going without an 'emotional freak-out.' The biggest test was 8 days and our whole family was here together and day 7-8 I was really feeling the stress and anxiety get to me. These past 2 winters I have been through 2 polar vortex freezing events alone and did well for the week they lasted although I did feel sorry for myself."
"I would also be a little of both, I think. I would be hiding and not thinking about food and stuff, but then I would also be thinking maybe if I am quiet they wonโt find me. The I would be curious about what they were doing."
"I would prob be both, too. We never know to what heights we can reach until we are tested."
