🔊📘Space Ants 3: Dismemberment Before Dishonor

The third part of a short story series about the plucky creatures we find under our feet. But imagined as a convergently evolved alien species living in the rings of some distant gas giant. I have always been fascinated by ants and my children love to watch them go about their industry. The children inspired me to write this story, though I would not say it is a kid's story. Other influences were the r/HFY themes on reddit. Of humans being awesome, surviving, and dominating. This is like r/HFY for ants.
