Summary

Mrs. Morris is amused at how excited her daughter Mink is about her latest game, Invasion. As adults go about their business, Mink and her friends gather objects for their game. Joseph Connors wants to join but at twelve is too old to play. Mrs. Morris watches as Mink and Anna writes notes and makes Mink slow down during lunch. Mink insists that Drill is waiting for her, though, and Mrs. Morris finds out Drill is the invader from someplace - like Mars but not Mars, Mink explains. The invaders couldn't figure out how to attack Earth but discovered they could use the fourth dimension and the imagination of children under nine. Drill promises the children a world where kids can do whatever they want, though some kids who are getting older - like Pete Britz and Dale Jerrick - have become snooty and will be the first to be killed.

At four o'clock, Mrs. Morris receives a call from her friend Helen in New York, whose son Tim is also playing the game of invasion and has an imaginary friend named Drill. Mink shows her mother a yo-yo that can disappear, something Tim also has. The day passes and Mrs. Morris sees Peggy Ann, a neighborhood girl, crying. She asks Mink what's the matter and Mink says she's scared; Drill is stuck halfway and as soon as he comes through, the rest can follow. Five o'clock finally arrives, the zero hour Mink anticipated. Henry Morris comes home from work and the two parents hear a buzzing followed by explosions that shakes the house. The children scream with delight but Mrs. Morris panics, dragging Henry with her to the attic where they can hide. They hear heavy footsteps and Mink calling for her parents; with her new invader friends, she finds her parents.

hope it helps friend ♡♡
