One fine summer day, I was walking down the sidewalk when I saw a solitary ant walking swiftly, going the same direction as the sidewalk. Curious as to why this ant might be following a human trail, I got down on my hands and knees and followed it. Pretty soon, I started to smell something quite sickening in the air. It reminded me of when a robin had fallen down our chimney and died, and we did n't open the floo for another few months later, only to find it covered in maggots. Perhaps this ant had found a dead bird of its own. I blindly followed the ant, focused on its tiny figure without being conscious of my surrounding. 
 
 Then, my hands landed on something wet, and a little warm. I kept crawling for a second, and my legs ended up in it, too. I stopped and looked around me. I was in a giant puddle of blood, and just uphill of me very three decapitated people, all bleeding out onto the street, their insides leaking out and making a crimson river. I never should have followed that ant..if only I had known.
