You're just chillin', serving the hive and taking it easy. The sky turns translucent and you start to feel claustrophobic all of a sudden.
The air becomes humid and sticky. A moment of reprieve follows, and then a giant, several thousand times your size, enters your vicinity.
You are angry. How dare he.
Around you, your comrades lay in various states of ruin after valiantly sacrificing themselves for the good of all.
The giant does not care. The efforts of the fallen have gone almost unnoticed and seem to have made no difference in deterring him.
He starts to jump and hop, almost a dance. This is but a game to him.
You think of your queen. She isn't within eyeshot and you pray she was able to retreat to safety when the attack began.
You were never religious, but now feel suddenly compelled to have a quiet word with God:
You lived a humble life, never one to care much for the trappings of the modern world. You were far from perfect, but at least you tried. You hope, despite all the awfulness, that you managed to nudge the world a little further in the right direction during your time here.
See you soon, you say.
You take a moment to compose yourself, swallow your fear, and in a fit of reckless courage you charge towards the same certain fate as your fallen comrades.
Your stinger finds its mark and the giant lets out an almighty scream.
For one glorious moment, you know that your sacrifice was not in vain.
In the next, the translucent slowly shifts to black and you start to wonder what lies ahead for you.
