I don't know what to make of this.
It had a very ... kind of 50's or 60's vibe, I thought. I could almost picture out the fedoras the men were wearing, even though it was never mentioned. It just had that very mid-century feel about it. The narration and the sort of internal monologue, and the women and their "helplessness."
Even though this is an alien invasion story, it felt that this was more in the horror genre than sci-fi.
