Before I died
Before I died I thought back to what brought me here
One moment before I died.
I can feel this unbearable pain.
It’s as if my entire body is on fire.
Yet I know that I am moving faster than I ever could before.
The 2nd moment before I died.
I can feel a weight
It seems like a million pounds
It’s crushing me and all my limbs.
The 3rd moment before I died.
I can see the giant shadow enclose around me
I hear the whoosh as it comes down
and the thud as it hits.
A second before I died.
I can no longer hear the loud booming.
he must have found me.
yet i am frozen like i was put on a piece of ice for many days
This is it he is going to kill me
Two seconds before I died.
I can hear his steps coming from far off getting closer and closer
I need to keep moving just like I was always told
but I can’t even move a single leg like some force was holding it down
why did i have to veer off the path
Three seconds before I died
I can hear her cry for the male giant to attack.
Her screech made me freeze
she’s only seen me i know my brothers will escape
I’m nowhere near the path home
A minute before I died.
I can barely see
Then I can see everything from the humongous plate to the giant eating from it
I stop short as i realize what’s about to happen.
I’m not going to make it
Two minutes before I died.
I can smell a wonderful smell.
It is such a powerful smell I veer off our path to find it.
When I get there I notice the shadow too late
Whatever this is I know I will like it
Three minutes before I died.
I can see huge things in the giant's house
It goes on and on.
There is so much to look at.
I now know why we traveled this far
An hour before I died.
I can feel my legs starting to give in.
It has been forever since we left.
I must keep going for we are greater together
Why did I want to go.
Two hours before I died.
I can smell fresh air.
It is finally my first day on the job.
The world is so big.
I’m finally out.
Three hours before I died.
I can barely listen to him any longer.
He’s just telling us how bad the giants are how the adults either kill us themselves or get someone to kill us then they put poison everywhere. Or about how the children are worse than the adults what with drowning whole nests or burning us with humongous objects. They've even have been know to eat us.
He’s also telling us how if we are ever spotted to keep on moving.
I just want to leave and see this world
Before I died I was an ant.
