Ants, so far, outlive us, we shan't likely

Ants, so far, outlive us, we shan't likely outlive them, but owing to the obvious differences in scale, we can hardly be said to be leading lives commensurate with those of ants.

I stamped on the ant at the edge of our picnic blanket and felt better. We cracked two beers & gorged ourselves on a KFC 9 piece. Meanwhile, in near-earth orbit, Queen Formicon 5

-holed Patrick Roy and the rest of the intergalactic space defense army. Then, Queen Formicon floated down to Earth on a giant gas bubble and laid a million eggs in my Amherst.

But a giant plasma millipede lived in my Amherst and devoured her eggs. It secreted the nitrogen crystals I needed to refill my hawk drone. I needed to find the space defense army

and have the space police space-defend my space hawk drone with space justice against the space giant plasma millipede in space time before all the space eggs were space used up. I

stared in awe as my hopes and dreams were blasted into nothingness - the alien creatures had destroyed my space hawk drone and with it, my

suitcase full of the only example of dilythium crystals the humans had ever seen. My space hawk had found them and I knew I would be the hit on Star Trek fandom circuit that

spring. I booked my tickets in advance and left instructions for my neighbour to feed the cat. When it finally came time to join the circuit tour the weather changed. A flash flood

shrunk my bell-bottoms. I was no longer cool enough to go on tour with The Circuits. I went back home to my cat, thought about things for a while, and decided to start my own band.
