Ants, what do you think about ants? They are small, live in colonies, love sweet things, have thousands of species, can lift 50 times their body weight, and the most amazing thing about ants is the way they communicate, by using the touch of the two antennae.
Communication that is done with the touch of an antenna allows them to work together in doing various things, but the bigger creatures always make their own way, they trample the ants under it just for fun.
I am one of the ants trampled by a human child, dozens of ants died by him, trampled helplessly in front of him, even though one of us managed to bite him, it only made the child cry and trample more ants to vent his anger.
I, always die being trampled by a human child, when I die I am reborn in an egg, die, reborn, die, reborn, die and, come back to life again. I always ask some ants about how they died in their previous life, but they don't know what i'm talking about and ignore me. I always feel weird about myself, feel different from other ants.
I've always tried to protect my colony, but a different human child keeps popping up when I come back to life, they did the same thing, trampling on the ants mercilessly.
Thousands of times I've died and come back to life, the longer I live something is formed in me, a mind, emotions and, feelings.
in this current life I'll be really wary of them, as the leader of the colony I have sense the responsibility to protect my colony, I ordered one of the ants to monitor the surroundings, winter is coming we need food stock before winter comes, so we will go on an expedition to collect food.
The ant that was sent to scout the surroundings has returned, he said that there is no sign of any other creatures around here, which means it's a green light, we set out on a mission to collect food stock.
So far there is still no sign of a threatening big creature, this is very good, we continue to move forward looking for food, until we finally found 5 rotten fruit under the tree, luckily, this was enough for a few weeks.
I tell the ants behind me to cooperate in bringing the food, the message I convey will be carried on backwards until the last ant, we started working together bringing food, we did really well.
We have brought all the Fruits, it's time to go back to store them. Suddenly a fruit fell from the tree right in front of me, maybe this was another stroke of luck, but right after that something much bigger than a fruit fell in front of me.
"Awww! it hurt!"
A human boy fell from a tree, luckily it didn't hit us, but this is something bad, i have to tell the ants behind me to disperse and hide, but it that impossible because we were carrying something.
"I told you to be careful when picking the fruit."
Another human girl came, she seemed to be her ally, this made the situation even more dangerous, I walked around the human boy in front of me, trying to ignore his existence and keep moving forward.
"Hey, look! These ants are carrying fruit, this is the first time I've seen them"
It's bad, they noticed us, I accelerated the way the ants behind me followed my speed as well, they haven't done anything to us, I take this as luck.
"You right! It's amazing, they are able to carry things bigger than their bodies."
Human girl also came to look at us, they just silently watched us, this is our chance to leave quickly.
"I wonder what if I step on it! It must be fun"
The human boy moves in front of us, his big steps make the ground tremble, he lifts his feet high, I know this, because this happens to me so often, he wants to step on us, it seems we are over, die with the same thing.
"Don't do that!!!"
The human girl pushes her ally strongly, she drives the human boy from treading on us, but it's not the time to care about that, I walked back quickly, past the human girl.
"Ouch....what are you doing?!
"Don't step on them! They didn't do anything to you!"
It seemed like they were arguing about something, but there was no time to pay attention to it, we continued forward, hoping to get to the nest as soon as possible.
"Look! There's a Unicorn!"
"Where? Where?! My unicorn! I'm coming!!"
A smack of human feet shattered our ranks, a human boy trampled us down mercilessly, sending us flying and dying on his feet.
I always wondered to myself, could we do something wrong to them so they kill us?
Why? What did we do wrong? What did I do wrong? Why do kids always seem to kill us? As if we did something to him? Why? Why? Why? Why this always happen to me?
"hahaha die! die! you are so small and weak animals! Ha ha ha ha"
My body stuck to his shoes, walked up to his shoes, climbed to his feet, his body…and came to a hole in his head, I found a hole next to their head, entered and fell into the hole.
"Argh!!! My ears!! It Hurt!! Huaaaa!!"
Biting, biting, biting, biting, without pause I kept doing it, for the sake of all my comrades who died being trampled by him, I felt something burning me, something that made me feel angry.
"Mother!! Father!! Help!!"
"What's the matter with you son?"
"Father! Help! Something got into my ear!!"
"Calm down kid! Flush your ears with water"
A wave of water appeared, and hit me hard, pulling me out of the hole, in the end I died again, even so I feel satisfied to be able to repay what he did to my colony, although until now I still don't know why they always step on ant like us.
After I died, I heard a flat voice.
