Giant Ants of Myth and Legends

by michael-robert-triska

Late, late one night, I heard a faint scream it woke me from a horrible dream. I raised my head from my soft pillow I hear a faint sobbing across the meadow. I went to the window to see what was wrong when I spied something lumbering along. I thought to myself, poor woman is stuck in those toothy like Jaws.   As I heard that desperate faint scream as they entered the woods on the way down to the stream. As I put on my boots and ran out the door, I grabbed my shotgun, it was against my door. I heard a scream within the woods so distant and faint it was frightening to know that it was so bold to run in full force into that unknown. As I reached the woods, I stopped to think, what shall I do when I meet up with the thing? No thoughts came to mind so I ran in time to see a woman screaming through the pines. Help, help me please the woman did scream. So, I followed that ant to its mound just a little away from the town. It climbed to the top and without a second thought it slid right down into that deep drop. So, I climbed that steep anthill just to the top and I peeked without a thought. I could hear her screams within that deep dark hole being ripped apart from her head to her toes. The screams were so loud that they echoed right out of the hole. So, I picked up my gun, and I ran down the mound straight back to my lovely little old town.
