[ EU ] - A zergling breaks free from the control of the hive mind .

It started out like any game of 2v2. 
 I built a hatchery at 15 supply like usual, and ordered my first batch of zerglings to a rally flag right next to the bottleneck for our base. The first four did exactly that, but # 5 did n't even spawn. I made sure I was n't supply blocked, saw that I definitely was n't lagging, and already had a few extra qued when it finally came out. Right off the bat, I noticed that this thing was smaller than a typical 
 zergling model. At this point, I was just thinking hey, I just got a new GPU, maybe this is some kind of 3D modelling glitch, and returned to my macro after ordering the thing to the group I had clustered around my friend's barracks. Naturally, my broken little zergling took forever again. It moved at about quarter speed with a few weird deviations in pathing before it finally reached the group. 
 Then, the weirdest thing happened. The rest of the army attacked it, and it even ran away. I quickly got my army selected and moved it away to cancel, but somehow every other zergling in my army was set to autoattack the poor little guy. And even weirder, it was bleeding! The thing was 
 limping back to the hatchery with an actual trail of blood behind it. I watched it claw at the hatchery wall for so long that I got supply blocked, and got back to my macro. 
 It was a good game. The kind that keeps you wondering who the hell is gon na win with each side losing an entire army two or three times. In the end, they won after a base race on either side left both of us without any kind of supply, and an all-out fight near center map. 
 After my friend gg'd I was about to when I remembered my little rouge zergling, and I keyed around the map for a few seconds trying to find it in whatever corner of the map it had ended up being somehow repelled to. I found the weird trail of blood leading behind a destructible rock in the corner of a map, and there it was. It was lying down behind a vespene geyser surrounded by what looked like a 
 perfect ring of rocks that had somehow been part of the ground texture there. I figured I wanted to see whatever this thing had to do till the end. Maybe It was even something Blizzard hid in the game, and I'd get some kind of achievement for it that would cancel if I just up and gg'd. 
 After about 30 seconds of watching its fragile breathing in max zoom, I had naturally gotten the other team to think I was hiding units as bad manner: 
 
 “ SW4GL04RhD: GG u fucking faggit. ” 
 
 to which I responded: 
 
 “ Gently Used Jesus Statue: Fuck you OP Protoss shit. ” 
 
 They knew my terms, along with the location of my little outcast from the no-base reveal, and started destroying the rock that shielded him. When the boulder was about half health, I actually saw it jump up, and perk its head up to see the source of the 13 explosions thrumming near its head. And I swear, if this is some kind of mod, Blizzard did a hell of a job, because I saw the thing recognize what was happening—saw its every movement go from startled to hopeless. It deflated like a kid who just realized she was n't going to get any ice cream, and then it just tucked its head back into its rock bed. 
 When the rock was about quarter health, The zergling slowly got to its feet, and hauled itself towards the edge of the map—where it drops off—and sat there, just staring down. Naturally, I was freaking the hell out. Even if this poor little bit of scripting was 100 % not alive, there was no way I 
 could see something like this and not at least feel bad for it. Still, I had nothing I could do. Starcraft UI gave the player 2 options: make things destroy shit and make things build shit, and neither of those were exactly applicable. 
 So, I did the most cheery thing I could think of doing. 
 I highlighted the unit, hit enter, and typed /dance. 
 And then, damn me to hell for believing this, it looked up. It looked right up into the sky and the camera and my eyes and in its eyes I saw more sadness, more hatred, more undisguised anguish than anything I had ever seen in my life. It was the look of a man who went through hell without knowing that there was any honor in the act, and it made me ashamed despite everything that made this situation ridiculous. 
 Then, the rock holding half a devastated army of protoss broke, and my little zergling -- my little lost pariah -- lurched forward into the abyss. I watched its frail body tumble down, trailing blue streams of blood, before the green unit selection circle finally disappeared. 
 
 sorry about the font and format, I've got to get my shit together with Openoffice.
