Astra had not realised that the spot which she had selected for her bed
was in the middle of a major route used by the ants from a nearby nest.
The first two nights they hadn't used this particular path, but on her
third night her luck ran out. She was woken by dozens of pinpricks of pain
all over her body. She leapt to her feet, slapping with her hands at all
the painful places.
She quickly moved out of the way and found an ant-free spot, but any further sleep that night was out of the question. When dawn came, she saw that her skin was almost completely covered in angry red swellings.
