Her ankle was already swelling from the poison the ant had injected. She tripped and fell in the sweet grass.
More of that eye-and-nose-burning stench attacked her face. An ant came crawling onto her arm, another on her back. She could feel their legs, their tiny feet digging into her skin. The one on her arm opened its mandibles and its pink proboscis stuck out towards her. She snatched the ant off and rolled over the one on her back, swatting it until it fell off, taking some of her leaf shirt with it.
