I'm not going to try to become a published author or anything, but I figured I'd just give this a try and share it with you guys. Any comments are greatly appreciated.

------------------------------

Rally.

The moment it hatches from its egg, the zergling begins moving to its destination. It navigates the terrain flawlessly through its connection to the Hivemind.

Move.

Before arriving at its destination, the Hivemind commands it elsewhere.

Move.

A new set of directions is given. The zergling’s twin continues on the previous command’s path.

The zergling runs up a ramp and spots small units with drills harvesting minerals.

Move.

The zergling returns to the bottom of the ramp, and other zerglings soon arrive at the same location.

Move.

It charges back up the ramp with the other zerglings. A structure comes into view.

Move. Move. Move.

It moves around to the opposite side of the structure, while the others surround it completely.

Attack.

The zerglings turns and lunges, ripping into metal with its teeth. At the edge of its vision, it can see something rise out of the top of the structure.

A way I look for 'inspiration,' or to get the creative juices flowing, is to load up an anime and turn the sound off, and narrate it while you watch it. It usually turns out completely ridiculous, but it helps and it's fun.
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

I enjoy it. It reminds me of those moments betweem the moves, and the actions when I play. Always thinking, analyzing. The moves are so simple but there's a lot behind them. pretty cool overall thanks for having the balls to share.

Very cool approach! I can see a lot of fun stuff you could do with this, and I hope you keep going with it/keep working on it!

It reads like an instruction manual or tutorial. Not very interesting.

Hey guys, thanks for the encouragement! And Endymion I'll definitely give it a shot. Sounds like a really good way to work on coming up with things quickly and just going with it.

When I wrote this I wanted the thing coming out of the structure to be the Planetary Fortress finishing and killing the zergling instantly, which is why the story ended there. But now I think I will just say that it's a flame, and write a little bit more tomorrow when I wake up. Thanks again!
