Earth: It's a Buffet! Alien bugs: Indeed you are! Earth: Oh, no. We meant YOU are the buffet!

[@Shatterverse]

Bugs: Your world is now our hatchery. Earth: OM NOM NOM NOM!

fuck with gaia and you find out why so many of the old gods where badass!

[@disastershaman]

Ah, you brought desert, lovely.

[@femstarpremium6685]

Definitely a novel approach to telling the story of earth being “a death world.. or that humans are death worlders” loved it. As always my thanks to the author for sharing and to the channel for uploading it to KZbin for us hear !!!

[@yomogami4561]

well put

[@rhylin26]

Nice! I’ve always wanted a story that focused on how deadly our animals are compared to an alien invasion. 👏

[@IainScholnick]

bravo and huzzah 👏

[@scifistories1977]

Wow, Iain! Thank you very much.

[@Shadow.Dragon]

Great story! I hope the author has a "part 2". I would love to hear the story of how the humans destroyed the Verence.

[@SageofStars]

I do like it when the humans don't try to 'save' the people that attack them. It's not really in our nature to allow the other like them to live, especially when they've shown they do not wish to coexist, but instead to make only more of themselves.

[@saber5694]

We have the unfortunate happenstance to live on a world where everything given the chance will kill us. Our choices are to either tame it or destroy it.

[@drakeslayer1982]

Wow that was really good hopefully the author decides to continue

[@spencer7539]

I love these stories so much

[@vanguard9067]

To tear down, completely demolish a city is to “raze” it. Not raise.

[@yousureimnotarobot]

Don't blame me, I spelled it right when I wrote the story 😂

[@vanguard9067]

@@yousureimnotarobot sorta figured that might be the case.

[@LibraritheWizardOfficial]

Haha, raising a city and razing a city really could not be more opposite, could they?

And after all the terrors and hell's and everything else had left Pandora's box the last thing to come out was a small fragile thing called hope.

[@yomogami4561]

[@disastershaman]

2nd time, still love this story!

[@disastershaman]

Is that what Swabb meant with "You will eat the bugs."?

[@Ral9284]

This begs for Part 2: The Rise.

[@TheSolidSnakeOil]

Nope. I'm sorry author but I'm gonna to need the story to play out. Snap to.

[@maxjjackson]

Raze not raise.

[@ironworksdragon6843]

Rare I'm the first

[@vanguard9067]

Congrats. Hope it is merely a fun start to great day, friend.

[@MBaldelli]

This feels like an AI cliché-fest. And it's sad too because in less than 10 minutes, I lost the plot as to what's going on with it. It's an all right theme for the fall and extinction of humankind -- which is a twist to the typical HFY themes I've been listening to the last three months -- but this? Eh, I was sort of disappointed in its mediocrity.

[@scifistories1977]

I get a lot of AI claims like this, but this story is over 3 years old. I've just added the reddit link into the description. Fair enough you don't personally like the story but jumping to "AI" is annoying for me to see.

[@MBaldelli]

@@scifistories1977 Fair enough. I was looking for validation as I was going on instinct, but defense works just as well. When I have a problem with the story, trust me; I'm sending a note off to the author asking for clarification. But after a long run of stories like "When the Trees Speak Human", "When a Human Says Whoops", "Decaf", "The One Thing Humans Excel At" and "The Worst Species in the Galaxy" (just to name a few off the top of my head), I was just surprised with this one. Surprised enough to comment.
