The story is about a young girl who has transitioned, and she accidentally releases her fire ants from her ant farm into her house. She then has to kill them at the end. I like the deeper meaning behind the death of the ants being like the death of her old self before she transitioned. I also enjoyed how the notion of her transition wasn’t the main plot of the story, I found that it gave it deeper meaning to sort of be sprinkled in. Why ants? What made the author choose ants, and is there a more significant meaning to the ants being chosen? I would think about condensing the beginning. I felt like it was difficult to follow her thoughts about the ants and that she was talking about a lot of things at once, but this could have also been intentional because the narrator was freaking out.
