Okay, so I already have one contest going on and I know I should concentrate on one thing at a time, but...but...tonight I have just experienced something HORRIFYING.
Ants have invaded my kitchen. Disgusting, endless, scavenging, horrible, hideous, indefatigable ANTS.
I. Hate. Ants.
Give me spiders or centipedes or bees or blowflies ANY day of the week. There is just something that makes me utterly paranoid and freaked-out whenever I see a group of ants. Heck, even an ant by itself is disturbing, because where you see one, you know that you will soon see more. Ugh ugh ugh ugh.
So, overnight, my kitchen has filled with ants. I sprayed with poison and they all died, but then I had to clean up about nine hundred ant BODIES which was JUST as bad because they were tiny and black and reminded me strongly of poppyseed muffins.
I used to LIKE poppyseed muffins, but now I can never eat them, because every time I do I'll think of ANTS.
Anyway, the entire experience made me want to read stories about the little, buggy bastards.
So give me stories about ants. Horror stories, zoological stories, comedies, romances (although, how? If there is anything less romantic in the world, I can't think of it.), etc.
Just submit stories about ants.
They must be central to the story, too. I don't want one line about ants in a 50 page long story, because that won't cut it. Ants MUST be central to the storyline or it will be disqualified.
Rules:
1. Spelling and grammar are a must.
2. Make them as gross, profane, erotic, gorey, etc. as you want. Knock yourselves out.
3. No word limit, but I prefer shorter stories.
4. No STiCkY CaPs. tHeY'rE fUcKiNg AnNoYiNG. pLuS tHeY tAkE fOrEvEr tO Do AnYwAy, sO wHy WoUlD YoU eVen BoThEr?
5. Ants. Ugh.
That is all. Have fun!

As she began to wake up, she realized her legs were itching and in pain. She pulled the covers off of herself sleepily and rubbed her eyes. To her surprise, her arms felt the same as her legs: Itchy. Something made her mouth• Commented on by judge.

Heh.
Thanks for the condolences. During the entire time, I was like, "Okay, this is gross, but at some point I can use this for future inspiration. Right? RIGHT?"
Ants = Evil. :0)

Ok I did. Now I'm telling you its really short but I didn't think I needed to add anymore to the end. Oh well. I've got another one in the works but I wasn't sure if we could submit more than one and this one just slipped out. lol
I HATE ants.

Wow
Once ants invaded my kitchen. -
Ok, so now that i wrote that ant story for your contest, I cannot sleep. I keep feeling these itchy places all over and I have to turn on the light and look for ants...It's scary to think of ants eating me alive...-shudders-
-
>< omg, how do you hate ants? I think they're cute and people think it's weird I hate every bug but ants, butterflys and catepillars <3
-
-
Hmmm
Okay, I'll give you butterflies and catepillars, because butterflies are friggin beautiful and catepillars are funny, how they scrunch up and back to walk.
But ants? When you see one, you know there are about 500 of the little buggers behind him. They walk so lightly that, if they swarm up your leg while you're sunbathing after swimming, you just assume its water drops evaporating until you look down and realize that your leg is black and moving (true story! UGH! The memories!).
Heh. So I hold up my stance that ants are evil. I have never tried to get a tan again after swimming. The water drops make me friggin paranoid. :-)
