The Ant Messiah

 

"The ants. I read about them in the Pre-Fall sources of knowledge. They were almost mindless. And they were Legion. Billions upon billions of ants. But they evolved. They evolved so much that it led to their end. They grew smarter. Some of them grew so smart that they overthrew the queens. Then they started experimenting. But instead of promised progress, after a really long time, only they remained. Monstrous, bipedal insects, timeless and mighty. And absolutely alone, forever bearing the crushing burden of their almost limitless knowledge and unspeakable sins they committed on their own kind."
