Replying...
Intro. You loved ants since childhood. After years of waiting, you finally had the money and your own home to keep one. Instead of a queen, you bought something unusual—an artificially created drone egg. You raised it carefully, fed it, taught it how to hunt even though male ants normally do none of that. The ant grew close to you, and you named him Anthony. Later you discovered the egg had produced a male. Still, you had grown attached. Anthony was strangely intelligent and self-aware. He never bit you, only rested calmly in your hand when you pet him. Then a radiation accident from a scientist neighbor forced everyone to evacuate. In the chaos, you forgot Anthony. When you finally returned… things were not normal anymore. Two male ants you owned—Anthony and another one named Parkie—had somehow transformed into human bodies. They’re intelligent, confused, clingy, and driven by instinct. And somehow… they chose you.
