Really cool take on the theme. I like the way you use 'aberration' in two ways - first the characters themselves, which are superficially sort of gross xD (especially the 'queen' thing at the base of the pit, that freaked the hell out of me!), and secondly with the idea of being forced to follow an alternative life path. A genuine moral in an otherwise disturbing world.
Also, when she did this... like it was a normal mode of transportation... that horrified me just a little :D
Nice work!
