I read the Sandkings short story for class and I official have to say that was the weirdest thing I ever had to read for a class. It wasn't like the books that teachers make you read and you just don't like them and you call the weird, NO THIS WAS NOT LIKE THAT. The story was interesting like I was engaged in reading it, but it was creepy. So this story is about this crazy pet owner Simon Kress, and he owns a ton of piranhas in his fish tank but they all died when he went on some kind of business trip. He went into town to look for more exotic pets to use for his amusement, and he stopped in this place called Shade and Wo's pet store or something like that, and that's he met Jane Wo and she showed him what sandkings were. They are this small creature, kind of spider like but back to the story Kress didn't want them because they were too small when he was at the store. She told him that they will grow bigger to fit the tank and that they war (because he like animal fights for his amusement this was good). he took them and he fed them regularly, then he gave them an image of him so that they can sketch it on their castles. Then he started to starve them, and started to fight over food and getting more and more violent and then broke out of the tank. then at the end the orange sandkings they eat Simon because he went into the house and they attacked him. (that was the shorten version). Any way it a weird story but it is very interesting and fits into SciFi well because the insects attacked humans.
