He awoke to the soft rumbling of marching. Squinting, he strained his eyes to make out the endless formations of the opposing army. A flowing river of dark black uniform, colorless and heartless. Mindlessly obeying their despot leader, they march blindly into battle. However, he was alone. No one could help him win this fight against millions. And so, he resolved, millions would perish. As the lines of infantry ransacked his supply stores, he unleashed an unholy onslaught upon the oblivious opposition. Chemical gases compressed at high speeds fell thousands at a time. Falling in unison, like synchronized skydivers. There was one good thing about facing millions at a time: he wouldn’t have to find them later. As he proceeded to attack, he was filled with murderous rage that blinded him to the macabre scene of decimated corpses. Following the trail of dead back to the entry point, he condemned those to come by flooding the tunnels with vile gases. With the massacre over, he proceeded to clean the corpses off the bloody plains; he would not soil his lands with the remains of these abominable creatures. But as he cleaned, he felt creeping remorse. He had killed men and women. Brothers, sisters, aunts, cousins, best friends.. struck down in an instant. But he had to steel his nerves, assuage his fears. They had come to plunder his resources and raze his land. For hours afterward, he would not be able to shake the vision of the invaders. As heĀ encounteredĀ a few stragglers, he showed no remorse. At the end of the day, he turned his back to the aftermath, and uttered ‘fuck these ants’
