Disclaimer: I do not own FMA. Rira-Lala-Kiki told me she would be using the idea of this first chapter to write something, so if you see a fic that has near the exact same chapter, feel free to hit them with a frying pan if it isn't Rira.
Following The Wrong Leader -Chapter 1

Many mourned for the alchemist, yet dared not rebel against the new Fuhrer. Any who came too close would be incinerated, and a family member would clean up the ashes the very next day.

Two empty holes stared at her.
