My face and neck perspire as I sprint away, my heart pounding so hard in my chest, I think it may burst. That thing-the thing with the narrow pupils-is after me.

Everyday we go about living our lives venturing away from the anthill but only to make our colony stronger, but what important blessing is missing from our everyday lives?
