I am so charmed by your drawings and your story that I have to comment personally, before I comment as Inkwell. First of all: you did these in Paint? Wow. I use paint and that is really hard to get a good effect.
Then, on to the story. It is a heroic tale, related in the simplest terms. Kudos for avoiding author intrusion. You keep the ant's perspective throughout and do not engage in moralizing from the narrator's POV.
Freedom has a price. That is a hard lesson and not always a price people are willing to pay. Great story. Thanks for an enjoyable read.
@agmoore, Thank you for your comment, I really hope to improve more and more and regarding drawing with paint is difficult, I hope with my next story to cause a greater impression on each of the people who read it. Thank you very much to you and the ink well community.
