Discovering the Ruins

Description

(Another angle of my favorite ruins!)

One of the villages in the rainforest was right next to this half-built stucture. The natives say that these ruins go back to when the "white man" first came and started putting up some of their settlements. This particular structure was to be one of their finest. However, halfway though construction, the builders had to quit. They ended up facing an unsolvable problem. The ants of forest were constantly swarming over the workers, in their clothes, and biting them (I've been bitten by these guys, and each bite is like a tiny but more intense mosquito bite), and with no way to fight them, the plan was abandoned halfway through.

Today the natives live peacefully by these ruins, not bothering the structure. The floors are still neatly patterned, the plants attempt to reclaim it, each and every hole is occupied by a tarantula, and a couple ants scitter across the ground.
