[100 days of 100 words] 83/100 Ant field report [Or, There Might Be Something Wrong With Me]

Day 4. We were about to abandon this post as too hostile when the food source appeared. We located three separate stockpiles when we sent our scouts out. Couldn’t believe our luck. Workers have been out in shifts since then, reconning and recovering the supplies.

Day 5. Since late yesterday, troops sluggish. They’re getting disoriented, and many have fallen on the trail. Queen pleased with our find, but seems distracted. Possible she has fallen ill; her guards won’t say.

Day 6. My shell feels thin, stretched. Trail harder to scent. All are sick.

A trap? Is site hostile after all?

That's a really good piece of writing! Succinct, good use of cultural reference to portray what would be a foreign character. Yeah!

Thank you! Cultural reference, though? Not sure what you mean.

Did you catch the title?

This one just kicks METASOMA

This is SO asking to be illustrated...
