Ender’s Game as a Bugger Clinton Bogle University of Advancing Technology ENG310 Ellen Wolterbeek January 28, 2014 There was a cold dark chill running down the backs of each bugger that inhabited their planet deep in space. Each bugger able to feel and see each other’s thoughts almost instantly as one of them has a thought about anything. A sense of entrapment surrounds the buggers as they all figure out at the same time what is going to happen to each and every one of them. Tristin, one of the Queen buggers, begins to moan and let out a screaming roar as she is giving birth to a couple hundred buggers that come flailing out of her in white round pods.

“All my lovely babies, their futures, our future, it can’t all end like this. What must we all do to save us from being annihilated? There must be something we can do? Or is there”? She began to think of a way to stop all of this as all of the other buggers had done previously. She struggled to try and think of any way that this could be stopped.

They felt good about what they had accomplished in such short time. Everyone but Tristin felt this way. The queen that had given birth as the whole bugger race realized what the humans were planning to do. Maybe it was because she hadn’t felt the exact same thought as everyone else had in that moment. During these years of preparing for war and total annihilation, she had dedicated all of her efforts towards finding another way to save everyone. She had this strange unwelcome feeling of what the humans were planning. It was almost as if someone kept telling her their plan to advance their weapons and ships, was a waste of
