AFTER 5 HOURS (The narrator is the Author Now)
'I have to go and find Mom', Tin argued. Val said, 'Its dangerous out there and mom said not to go out at any cost'. Tin shouted, 'I'm going, Do whatever you want'.
......Tin furiously went out of the nest in eager to find her mom, but little did she knew that her mom had passed away.
......It was getting very dark, and Tin was advised not to go out in the dark, as there is low vision and no track of where you are heading.
.......The machine was still there, as no one came to make this big thing move. The guy in the black suit was shouting on the phone, 'We need some men to make this bulldozer move and an engineer to fix it, we need to resume our work tomorrow, I'm telling you or it will be a disaster for my job,' He slammed the phone while putting in his pocket.
......Tin went to scout what's going on around the machine, and she saw a glimpse of her mother under the bulldozer right up the front. She went their as fast as she could and saw her mother die in her arms, she was angry. 'Noooooooo', She screamed. There was no going back now, she had to take responsibility of her siblings as she was told.

6 Hours Earlier
..... 'If something happens to me you have to take care of your siblings at any cost and establish a bigger and better colony than I did. Promise me You will.' Valentina told Tin. 'I Will', Tin whispered.
......They went out to elaborate the plan to the kids. The plan was to stay inside and hidden no matter what happens.
Present Time
'Mom, I don't think, I would be able to do anything like you did', Tin said in hushed tones. Valentina took her last breath and muttered, 'You'll be better, just believe in yourself'. Whilst they were having their last chat, a car stopped right beside them, and some workers came out and started working on the machine, they seemed like the people who were talking to the black suit guy and he was shouting from the back, 'Just fix this this damn machine and don't make me lose my job'. 'You have to get as far away as possible from this building, they are going to fix the machine and resume their work, Go Run', Valentina's Last Words.
......Tin ran home and told everyone about the current scenario, they quickly made their herd and went out.
.......It was dark and they had no clue where they were going, the cars were passing by and the leaving behind the hustle of wind across their faces. Then there came a car driving in the zig zag pattern, and you never know when it was going to crash.
......The car's honk came near and crushed the little ants. The driver unknowingly killed a happy family and it was the end of the Colony.
