Britain stared out into the distance as the rain hit the ground in a rhythmic manner. Rain always did depress him, in a sense, because it always brought back unwanted memories that he wanted to erase, and he hoped that the rain would be able to wash them away and clean his mind of such pain.

He had raised the kid after all, and had gotten so attached to America that he did not expect for him to rebel suddenly. Well, so soon, he should say. He didn't understand why America had acted so foolishly, so impulsively, and with so much immaturity over a few taxes his king was pulling over the colonists. He was only thinking how this would help his little colony in the future, but his little colony could not withstand a little economic pinch.

All I want is my freedom, he had said. His expression had looked wild and enraged in the rain, and all Britain could do was knock out his musket, but to no avail. America found a way to win his independence and Britain had no choice but to depart from the colony.

It had been so long ago that that little scar surprised him. But it never did quite heal and he could never forget that America was his 'little brother'. He had heard that America had been doing well after the War of 1812 and the 19th century was looking promising for the growing country. He had grown up too fast for his own good. Britain hoped his little colony knew what he was doing.


I think this might forshadow something! R/R, plz! Support is love!
