ANT ATTACK
Softsolid 3D

The Walled City of Antescher has rested for a thousand, thousand years
in the midst of the Great Desert inhabited by only the deadly Ants who
have made it their home. The sands have piled up at the walls but for
some reason have never encroached upon the city proper. The City rests
dreaming of past glories, solid and unmoving; the signature of a long
dead race. The City washed clean by the sun's rays. The city lost from
the world of men for days without number.

Then one day, one year, one hour, He arrived and She arrived, some say
that they are descended from a race of wizards, some say that they are
descended from a race hidden in a green valley at the North Pole. Who
can really tell these days, how much do we really know about the world
as it was, or as it is, after so long in the cold Dark Ages. Only
Antescher seems to stand inviolate after all this time, teeming with
secrets, yet silent.

He and She arrived to play their games through the wind-swept streets,
ousting the ants from their exclusive occupation. He and She are now
wreaking havoc through the ants who for their part kill and kill again
without thought or consideration, just carrying out a biological
imperative. He and She run to and fro, climbing in and out the
buildings, the sound of their feet stretching from block to block.
They laugh and cry out in fear walking with each other just ahead of
the Ants and Death.

And above all the drama within it's walls the City of Antescher
watches and watches waiting for the next renaissance and the next
Golden Age. The City seems to have a presence, a huge brooding entity
which hangs over the buildings and which in some mysterious way
controls the destiny of those below...
