The smell of enemies was everywhere.

There. We had reached the dead beetle. I scented the air. I touched it with my legs, touch ing again and again to learn the size.

I? My legs?

Confusion.

<Fight! Fight it! You have to get control!>

It was big.

The others were with me. I opened my cutting mandibles wide and bit into the beetle, slicing tough shell, biting into meat.

<- listen to me. You are losing. You have to fight!> Fight?

Suddenly, I realized that there had been some thing ... a sound. Yes, not a smell. Not a smell.

Not a feel.

<You are humans! You are humans. Listen to me. You are not ants. Fight it! Fight it!> Yes, not a smell or a feel. In my head.

My.

Me.

Marco.
