okay so

you can't tell but there's an hour between that last sentence and this one

hour of pacing and muttering and playing with eyespider

original eyespider

should think up name for ninja agrotoxin eyespiders to distinguish them from #1 eyespider. skullspider. myspider. okay that'll do for now.

good distraction jin

that was like a minute

need more distractions

from the horrible thing

that happened

today

well tonight

it was pretty dark

maybe she didn't see me?

no but then why would she scream and run away

so yes

the thing is

there's a human around

probably more than one

you get them in clusters

unless maybe i just hallucinated her?

oh please let me be hallucinating humans

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

maybe i've been hallucinating this entire time

all the giant ants have actually been

giant humans?

no that doesn't work at all

i mean sure if it was zombies we were dealing with then i could buy the whole 'you've been killing regular humans the entire time jin you are the monster' thing

but no

even the best hallucination can't turn a regular human into a giant insect that eats your arm

that's just not believable

gotta face facts here

probably not hallucinating

not her at least

assuming gender a bit but that's the least of my troubles

let's maybe get some stuff straight. that could help. so. i was out checking ninjaspider progress re: suburban ants. also checking giant ant progress re: rotting. how long can a giant ant stay just lying around before you can't use its bits for stuff any more. these are important questions that should be answered. anyway i was just doing my thing amongst the antcorpses. recording potentially useful numbers. taking chitin samples. happy as a bee.

then the scream

the hideous scream of a human

those things are so noisy

not like giant ants. never really appreciated this before. giant ants don't make much in the way of noise. little bit of clicking. little kind of cute six legged footsteps when they move around. giant ants are light. because of the antigrav antgutgem deal. i should invent a shockwave thing or an airblaster or something. just blast these things away. giant reverse vacuum cleaner the surprising answer to all my problems.

well not all of them

can't blast a human away with a giant reverse vacuum cleaner

or could you

ah lovely distractions. you sooth my troubled mind in these stressful times. always comes back to humans though doesn't it.

the problem that cannot be ignored

or could it

no no because she saw me and went running off and i really doubt she's surviving in this mess on her own. i mean if one little eyespider crawling out of a cyborg girl's skull is gonna make you scream then i'm sorry but you are soft as flip. way too soft for giant ant shenanigans. right? yes. i am right.

i think she had a gun

not a cool gun like my junk

regular bulletgun

haven't tested shield against bullets

haven't got any bullets

i hope this does not become

problems

not sure what to do now

before this happened i was all excited about power plant stuff

excited to use my laser shotgun again

excited to maybe invent a lightning gun

drones doing good work over there

that was going to be my next thing

fixing up a power plant

making another base over there

cracking the mareo piracy protection drm junk so i can force it to make another mareo

matter reorganisers reorganising matter into more matter reorganisers

this is the stuff i wanted to be thinking about

now

i don't even know

bleh
