[📖 Prefer reading? Here's the story in script format.] ⬇
(Scene: A narrow Forest Path. A SPIDER looms ahead, blocking the way. The sunlight barely filters through the thick canopy, casting shadows across the ground.)
Spider: Why shouldn’t I kill you?
You: I’m just an ant! I’m already late getting back to my anthill! Please, let me go!
(The Spider hesitates, its many eyes glinting as it studies you.)
Spider: Fine. Go. But next time, don’t cross my path.
(You dart past, heart pounding, and follow the winding trail until you reach the anthill.)
(Two imposing GUARD ANTS stand at the Entrance, their antennae twitching in suspicion.)
Guard 1: You’re late. What’s your excuse?
You: A spider stopped me on the path! I barely escaped!
Guard 2: Spare us your excuses. Rules are rules.
(The Guards exchange a glance, their expressions cold and unyielding.)
Guard 1: Looks like someone’s earned a special duty.
You: Wait… What do you mean?
Guard 2: It’s feeding time for the newborns.
You: No! Not the babies!
(The Guards smirk, their mandibles clicking ominously as they seize you. Struggling is futile as they drag you down into the depths of the anthill. The cries of hungry larvae grow louder, echoing through the dark tunnels.)
