Everyone has an awesome childhood but this tiny ant has the opposite. Her name was Brachymyrmex, for short Brachy. She was born in the old dirty streets. Her mom died from giving birth and her dad got stepped on by an old weird-looking monster protecting the queen ant, at least that's what her cruel aunt claimed. She ran away from her mean old aunt because her aunt was starving her by not letting her have anything to eat she would always say, “if you eat something, I will leave you out in the street!” so that's what she did, left to go in the streets. She was only 5 when this happened. She was very small for her age, she was skinny, huge hair, and long. She was lucky because she can easily escape from stuff. Like if she had to climb through a no entrance fence she could slip under a inpossible crack and escape. [[Continue ->Paragragh 2]] [[continue #2]] She was on a strole underground and found an ant hive, [[Countinue ->Paragraph 3]] Soon after she came to a conclusion in her head that she will leave. Soon after she started walking, an alligator came up to her, she thought for sure she was gonna die, right on the spot! But instead, the alligator did something incredible he came up to her and helped the little ant on his back and went across the river. After that, the alligator scratched off some of his scales and gave it to the ant. He said, “take this with you, you will need them.” So she took them. [[Countinue->Paragraph 6]]Once she got across the river, she found the queen's son dead on the hard rocky floor. She felt she had failed and a little bit of sorrow in her stomach because it was her fault he had passed. Soon she remembered she was a genius and she could come up with something to bring the queen's son back to life. So she got some of the scales from the nice friendly alligator and started doing CEPEARE, pumping on his chest. Again, and again. And finally, he came back to life with a gag of water, “YES!” [[Continue ->Paragraph 5]]After that she said, ”come on I will take you home” So that’s what they did, crossed the lake, crossed the mountains, and finally to his home. When they got there the queen was squealing with joy and happiness. She grabbed her son and was crying. Soon Brachy felt she was a hero and felt happy for the family and felt a little sad that she did not have a family who would cry for their son or daughter. The queen walked up to Brachy and said, “Thank you so much. I will give you the honor of staying with us for a while. Brachymyrmex felt so grateful, and said in her head, “That’s what you get if you never give up no matter what.” Brachy decited that she was going to go home because she did not want to suffer dieing for the prince. So she walked to what is called "home" so she spent her whole life there she would always think back to that moment where she got to choose which path she could take and she would always wonder if she took the other path would it end up better for her.Brachy decided that she should stay and help the queen ant because she wanted their family to have a happy life, a life she never had. So she said, “Yes,” I will help you. So the queen gave her the tools and she set off. She was wearing an orange bandana that the queen gave her, and her hairs were tangled together. She soon got to a lake infested with alligators! She was wearing a bandana so she thought she could float so she tried swimming, she almost drowned but got up just in time before she drowned. Then an alligator came up to her and picked her up and went across the river. She said, “thank you so much.” [[Continue ->Paragraph 6]] She thought about it and decided she should go help their family have a normal awesome life a life she never had. So she said yes. She got all of her supplies water, food, a map, and of course the fast powers, and left. She followed the map all day. With her new super speed, she felt like she was there for 2 minutes but she was actually traveling for 1 hour or so. She soon got to a lake, infested with alligators! So she tried swimming, she almost drowned but got up in time to survive. She found a boat, but she could not paddle because she was too small. She soon started to sob, hard, she felt she had to go back because she felt she could never cross that lake because she was too small and the lake was too big. [[Continue-> Paragragh 3.5]] so she dug in and found the queen. The queen cried to the ant, “Please find my son I will give you speed powers, so you can move fast, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!.” [[Leave and go home]] [[Stay and help the queen ant]] [[Continue -> Paragragh 3.5]] She ran away from her mean old aunt because her aunt was starving her by not letting her have anything to eat she would always say, “if you eat something, I will leave you out in the street!” [[Stay and starve]] [[Leave home and go in the streets]] Brachy decided that she should stay because she didn’t want to be with a bunch of PEOPLE getting stepped on, she said to herself that it will be easier to die in the outside world then just not eating. So every day she would say to herself I can’t go outside anymore but what if I chose going on the streets would I have died or would I have found a home or experienced a journey through the meadows or the mountains even! She ran away from her mean old aunt because her aunt was starving her by not letting her have anything to eat she would always say, “if you eat something, I will leave you out in the street!” so that's what she did, left to go in the streets. Her aunt was starving her by not letting her have anything to eat she would always say, “if you eat something, I will leave you out in the street!” [[Stay and starve]] [[Leave home and go in the streets]]
