Prompt: 025. ants<\/h1>\n

1. After the death of the old queen, the worker ants broke into factions and fought to ensure the succession of their chosen queens.<\/h2>\n

A. After the death of the old queen, the worker ants broke into factions and fought to ensure the succession of their chosen queens. But in the course of fighting, they lost track of what they were protecting and all of the queens were killed.<\/p>\n

The colony was left queenless and doomed to a gradual death.<\/p>\n

2. There were little black ants all over the kitchen counter. Lines and lines of them marching back and forth with specks of sugar and other crumbs.<\/h2>\n

A. There were little black ants all over the kitchen counter. Lines and lines of them marching back and forth with specks of sugar and other crumbs.<\/p>\n

For a long moment, she stood there and stared. Then the realization of what she was seeing broke through her shock and she hurriedly grabbed a paper towel and the spray bottle of all-purpose cleaner.<\/p>\n

“Eat lemon scented chemicals, ants!”<\/p>\n

3. ‘To my deer ants’ the card read, and the child looked so hopeful holding it up.<\/h2>\n

A. ‘To my deer ants<\/em>‘ the card read, and the child looked so hopeful holding it up. What else was there to do but to smile and take the card?<\/p>\n

“Oh, thank you so much. It’s wonderful,” she gushed, leaning down to give the kid a hug. “You’re a really good artist.”<\/p>\n

“T’ank you!”<\/p>\n

“It looks like you put a lot of work into this card. I think you deserve a reward.”<\/p>\n

“Really?”<\/p>\n

“Yep,” she said, popping the “P” a little to earn a giggle. “Would you like to help me bake some cookies?”<\/p>\n

“Yeah.”<\/p>\n
