Story of an Ant

   On the fifth hour of the fifth moon, Antonia was born, and the Empire has never been the same since. She was born a scavenger, as many ants are. It wasn't a noble position, not by far, but Antonia had little choice in the matter.
   
   "Mom, why are some ants born scavengers while others are drones and nurses?"
   
   "The gods do not discriminate, Antonia. We all work for the good of the colony."
   
   Antonia shuffled her antennae uncomfortably. It was a rare occurrence for her to speak to the queen. She'd hoped for better answers than the ones they'd given her at school."What good is a colony if its ants are not happy?"
   
   "Oh daughter," the Queen said softly. "It will all be clear in time. Now, I require privacy. The drones will be coming to mate any minute now."
   
   Antonia left to her nesting spot where she brewed for several hours on the matter. "It isn't fair," she said to herself. "I don't want to be a scavenger. I want to be... well, I'm not sure what I want to be. But it sure isn't this."
   
   The following morning Antonia left the colony in search of food. Routinely, the search consisted of two steps: Find the scent trail left by other ants. Follow the scent trail left by other ants. There was no room for anything else. Brave explorer ants died every day in the search for food and prey. It was up to the scavengers to make sure their sacrifice wasn't in vain.
   
   Upon leaving the mound, Antonia was stepped on, and her entire colony demolished by BRAWNDO PEST CONTROL (It's what ants crave.) The end.

   Weak ending. Antonia asked a valid question. I would have liked to see you explore the answer somewhat thoroughly, C+.

    considering they placed enough thought into it to actually buy it...not exactly the best use of the term 'thoughtless'

    Last month my book writing covered my rent of 700. That's pretty fucking good for something I do for pleasure and relaxation. And it's nice that it is an idle income. I've gone months without publishing anything while still maintaining an increasing income. You'll cowards are JEALOUS

    I haven't. But hopefully one day I can. There are quite a few people who make their living selling books on Amazon. It can be more profitable than going through a publisher for most people, and it gives you a lot of control that you lose when you sell your rights to a publisher.
    
    Honestly if I just kept making what I'm making, I'd be pretty happy. I didn't actually expect to get this far.
