Summary/Judgement:

Looking up, he noticed a small, bright speck in the sky...which so quickly it hardly registered became a black glow of immmense darkness. His mind asked, almost simultaneously, "hey, is that a rock?" The overwhelming flash of light brighter than the sun immediately blinded him, and thought abandoned him. Five seconds later, after it had penetrated all the way through the atmosphere with terrible swiftness, he still stood there, blinded and numb to his...fate?

Instantaneously squashed like the ant he had unconsciously stepped on a moment earlier, he was vaporized and became, as was the ant, transformed into sub-atomic particles and thrown explosively into the cosmic explosion he had become a small part of.

Nearby, the prescient ant Queen, a mutant born a few days earlier, an extraordinary mutant able to perceive the quantum reality of her situation, with the intelligence of an Einstein, relished the fate of the man who, a moment before, had crushed her favorite soldier ant, and then uttered the infamous words no one would ever hear in her ultrasonic squeek of a language: "It's payback time!"

Oh, that was bad... Please forgive me! 8^6
