    The Adventure of an Average Ant

    In a little anthill, there lived a colony of ants. And in that colony, there was a special little ant. Let’s call him Ant, with a capital A. Ant was actually a very, very average ant. He did everything and anything a normal ant would do: carrying food, putting down food, going to get more food, carrying food… While he might seem obsessed with food, he’s actually following orders from the queen ant, just like a regular ant would.

A Certain Kind of Education

Wailing, moaning, screaming. Always kicking up a ruckus as they destroyed homes, wandered, or dragged people screaming into their hungry maws. They were always a nuisance, but it seemed they were more active lately. The Asag stalked and patrolled sporadically, and whether this was due to some natural cycle or some great cosmic influence was still unknown.
