Yard – Calamity and Chaos filled the backyard today, after an entire ancient civilization of ants faced the wrath of the tyrannical Grasshopper King, 79-days emerged from its nymph stage.
“An entire civilization will end tonight” the grasshopper was heard exclaiming, pumping its fists skyward as other grasshoppers in congress around the king continued to carelessly chew on grass and let cud fall from their lips.
The Grasshopper King continued, “the ants are a threat to us all. They have developed nuclear weapons of mass destruction, ICBMs that can destroy real civilizations of properly tinted grasshoppers!”
Spokespeople for the ants claim they do not have the means to produce nuclear material and that the Grasshopper King’s statements were fabricated. Asked for proof, that ants stated, ‘As ants, we have naturally complied with all rules and regulations expected of us. We just don’t have that thumbs to do it.”
The Grasshopper King demanded the ants give all their resources to him by 8pm, or he would unleash apocalyptic fury. Insider sources a host of spiders, flying grasshoppers, a few hungry crows and one confused ‘mammal with a can of Raid’ all awaited to see what would happen at 8pm.
