"Ant Attack" by Michael Leviton is a short story about an ordinary man named Henry who finds himself under siege by an army of ants. The story begins with Henry noticing a few ants in his house, but their numbers rapidly multiply and they begin to invade his personal space. Despite his initial attempts to control the situation, such as using insecticides and sealing off openings, the ants continue to overwhelm him. Amidst the chaos, Henry becomes increasingly paranoid and starts to lose his sanity. He resorts to extreme measures like trying to drown the ants but fails miserably. The story ends with Henry succumbing to his fear and giving up, symbolizing the failure of an individual against the relentless force of nature. Overall, "Ant Attack" explores themes of powerlessness, fear, and the insignificance of humans in the face of nature's might.
