    Zero Hour – Summary.

    In the beginning, Mrs. Morris is amused at how excited her daughter Mink is about her
    latest game, Invasion. Or at least that's what she thinks. As adults go about their business,
    Mink and her friends gather objects for their game. Throughout the day, the mother
    continues to have strange encounters with Mink as she talks about her friend, Drill, who is
    supposed to be an alien that's planning an invasion of Earth by using the children. The
    mother laughs at this and marvels at children's imagination.

    However, when she talks with her friend from several cities away, she hears that they are
    playing the same game and have someone named "Drill" too. The mother finds this curious
    but doesn't think much of this either, and she doesn't quite seem to understand why it is
    only children under 10 years old that are allowed to play this game. Mink explains that
    people over ten years old will only make fun of them and more importantly, lost their
    ability to be impressionable. Joseph Connors wants to join but at twelve is too old to play.
    Afterwards, Mrs. Morris watches as Mink and Anna writes notes and she makes Mink slow
    down during lunch. Mink insists that Drill is waiting for her, though. Then 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. Meanwhile, 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. Next, 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.
    After that, 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. Finally, they hear heavy footsteps and Mink calling for her
    parents; with her new invader friends, she finds her parents.
