Today I went to
the costuming club. I think I'll be attending it when I can. I
learned some things that may help with the costume father and I are
working on. Anyway onto the flash fiction!
Ant's Aunt
Family
relations are quite the terrible thing to some insects. One little
ant named Sally(Her true name a bunch of ant pheromones, but we'll
translate it as that) learned that one day when she saw the feud
begin between her mother and her aunt. Though the mother and aunt
never met and merely laid eggs. Two rival queens each born at a
colony far away now made theirs close to each other.
Sally saw the
two colonies fight over food. Her sisters would kill her cousins. So
much death, but that is the way of ants and the survival of the
fittest. The fighting saw an end though when a strange natural
disaster came in. Sally didn't know what a bulldozer was but a human
home replaced the other colony and now created a new source of food
as well. Later they would deal with poisons and traps, but the
immediate threat of the ant's aunt to the ant was gone.
As generations
went on, humans or no humans in the area, ants would spread. Queens
would make their colonies and little ants like Sally would have to
deal with their aunts and cousins for the scraps of food the world
would offer them.
