If Cthulhu can be summoned by humans who are so far beneath it, why can´t humans be summoned by ants? The answer is, they should be. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I´ve been wasting my time away on Tumblr and stumbled upon a nice Idea. This is the extrapolation of the question; how do ants see humans and how would you react to a bunch of ants chanting your name? Would you give them sugar if they ask nicely? Would you be a benevolent higher Power? Or something way darker and more sinister than you could imagen. As this is the first story, I have ever written, I could do with some feedback. Thanks The picture is from Ants Australia - YouTube. Just tell me if I should take another picture.

Notes for a forthcoming work that have been cobbled together to form a historical narrative from the distant past. A first attempt at world building, the setting is an alternative Earth/Isekai and is written based on the common sense of that reality. I anticipate many changes may be made as this is only a draft, and the primary work is still a ways off from completion, but I place it here for practice, and if any soul chooses to take it on, notes and advice would be greatly appreciated.
