WORD COUNT: 100
This has been our home for ages. Its time to show our
gratitude!” said the leader ant, “We have only 7 hours.”
The architects made the
contour. The queen herself was inspecting this marvel. Once the surveyor on the
loft gave green signal, the diggers started. The excavation went on for hours;
they were to leave no clues.
“She is up. Evacuate!” There was a hullabaloo. “Everyone!
Below the monument! Now!”
Everyone waited with baited breath. Lazily she arrived,
yawning. “Peterrrr!!! Again you left it outsi…….Wow!”
Her expressions changed.
“He remembers the day!”, she blushed.
Her smile made their day.

That's a different way of looking at things! Ants doing a husband's work. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteHusband got saved. But lets see what happens when he wakes up ;)
ReplyDeleteThe ants go marching one by one--until their long night's work is done :)
Thats a sweet way of summarizing their job :D
DeleteNow this is a really unique explanation for the heart. ☺ Hurray for grateful ants, but I'm not sure she'd want to eat their...um... artwork.
ReplyDeletehahaha...
DeleteHope the ants and their work is preserved :)
Dear S Ritika,
ReplyDeleteI see that you've written for Friday Fictioneers and haven't been properly welcomed. I liked your take on the prompt. Ants could make a home in that bread couldn't they?
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks Rochelle and great to have come across the prompt. :)
DeleteThey couldn't make a home in that bread and they wouldn't. They just want to coexist with the residents in a small hole of their own. (It might be heart shaped as well you never know) ;)
I really liked this, Ritika! I normally hate ants, but you made me like them with such a sweet gesture. I love the image of them all waiting underneath with baited breath. Great job. I think I'll follow your blog with my work email so I can read your posts when I get to work. :)
