It had been just over eight months since the first reported sightings of the larger insects appeared seemingly out of nowhere and subsequently the arrival of more, varied and never before seen giant species had continued with gusto across the globe. The first of the creatures to surface was Lasius Niger. The common black ant. When they emerged from beneath the soil and foraged vivaciously for food, decimating wild stock and remote communities. Entomologists' reports revealed that there had been no prior premonition or warning of their arrival or suggestion of just how or as the main question was asked, why they had grown to such a large size although many theories emerged. These ants which normally were only millimetres in size were now the size of large ferocious, acid spraying dogs. In governments around the globe no civil contingency plans were ever conceived or created for an event of this nature or magnitude and inappropriate major incident plans once initiated by panicking governments and followed to the letter by confused military leaders and strategic commanders failed catastrophically. No minister in their wildest nightmares of course had considered the possibility of an invasion of this kind and scale to draw up a workable strategy and if they had they would have been ridiculed out of Westminster and dubbed insane. At first, government agency after government agency sat and debated. Emergency meeting after emergency meeting took place with no clear progress or agenda short of the obvious extermination of the new creatures with no idea how. As committee's stalled and adjourned, the time to act passed and the insects hold on the world strengthened as each day went by. The threat of terrorism was prevalent at the time of the insect emergence and as a world many of the countries had spent years compiling intricate plans and training their domestic and military to deal with marauding terrorists who fought in the name of religion armed with automatic weapons and explosive vests, release of toxic chemicals or in worst case scenarios even a small nuclear package. These scenarios were aimed at dealing with an incident in one or two cities where the occurrence could be cordoned and controlled, people moved away and mutual aid called in relatively quickly. No plans involved a scenario which effected the whole country, or indeed for that matter the whole world. In the United Kingdom and mirrored around the civilised world, the first thing to fall and fall quickly was law and order. A panic stricken public began looting and pillaging, taking the opportunity to attain wealth and belongings initially but as time passed their priority turned to the acquisition of food, water and provisions which they took brutally and without hesitation. Even the most law abiding, if they wanted to survive followed the mighty surge of conformity to this new pitiless world. The Metropolitan police force dissolved quickly as more and more officers failed to attend for duty, this was also replicated in the other emergency services, fire and ambulance services just stopped responding and hospitals with no staff, closed their doors. Across the streets with no fully functioning refuse collections and failing sewerage the streets soon tuned into a hungry foraging ant's dream as piles of rubbish gathered and overflowing drains provided sustenance to insect and disease to man. With no one to police the atrocities, civil rioting and chaos ensued and the insects ran riot and rampaged at will unabated at this new human food source. The Time of the I is a modern day survival horror that brings the 1960's black and white movies to the here and now. Giant ants, spiders and wasps rampage across the world and a small team of experts is all that stands in the way of mankind being replaced at the top of the food chain
