All ants invited – movie night with the queen!

Dave and Larry purloined the snacks; carrying a heavy bowl of ready salted crisps a great honour . They booked The Dumpster. It was looking to be a fantastic evening of rest, eating, and a shouting at the screen. It was nothing like real life. For a start, they had to have subtitles, because they didn’t speak human.

The queen, stepping from her throne (made of roots and gold thread) tottered on the red carpet, her crown of ferns glittering on her head. The insect squad, documenting for Sugar Daily, loved the only A list celebrity. Behind her, a long line of her future husbands posed for their particular praise.

Lazing around felt weird, their legs were constantly shaking. He soon allowed all his body to laze over the front-row seat.

Antz – Larry was almost thinking of writing the sequel – Antz the return.
