Not much really to say…hmm…I don't own FullMetal Alchemist…ok yeah, here's a new story! Came up with it while watching the movie 'Waterworld' with Kevin Costner…yup…
Prologue Journal Entry # 43It's been months now and we've finally succeeded in creating an implosion. Personally, I think this countries government is more interested in increasing their own power then ending this damn war. But I have no choice in the matter, it was because of the U.S. that my brother and I were freed from Nazi Germany and this was the only way I could think of to repay them.
Journal Entry # 44
Today we got news that the war was over…funny…something about how the army said it made me believe that it wasn't. I wasn't able to leave even though the war was over, I had wanted to see my younger brother. There's just something about this whole project that doesn't seem right.
Journal Entry # 45
It's the big day, we'll be testing a small model of our 'creation'. Everybody is excited…I'm not. I feel that by taking part in this I'm stepping all over his dreams, I'm sorry…Alphonse. He was my good friend, all he wanted was to leave his mark on the world.
Journal Entry # 46
It's still the big day, it's only an hour away from the big test. I've got a very bad feeling about this…
They've made me the recorder, I must write down everything that happens during the test…butterflies…I've got butterflies in my stomach.
Journal Entry # 47
I'm going to start recording now,
The scientists are setting up the contraption, it's a sort of crane
They are now attaching the small model with a very small amount of, I believe it's either plutonium or some other substance…I was only working in the delivery designing section so I'm not one hundred percent sure what it is they're using.
They are raising it up now…
The count down has started…
The model starts its' decent
Falling, falling…falling
There's a bright flash and then nothing…it's…it's a success!
Journal Entry # 48
The test went well, but for the past few days I've been feeling ill. The on site doctor says it's just stress and I should take some time off to rest and relax, he's always being nice to me. He says it's because I'm so young…ha! I'm nineteen I'm hardly a child anymore. Oh yeah, I got a letter from my younger brother today, he says that he's fine and that I should hurry up and get home. It's strange…considering we really didn't have one, at least not in this country.
Journal Entry # 49
Strange things have been happening lately, the plants all seem to have grown out of control. No matter what we do they just keep coming back, some of the other scientists are saying the plants are growing this way due to the radiation that was emitted by the test. If that's how the plants were taking it…and they were outside…what's going to happen to those who were inside? That might explain the way I've been feeling lately.
Journal Entry # 50
Well…it's happened…I was having breakfast too. I just passed out, so here I am sitting in the infirmary being waited on by a very nice nurse lady. The doctor thinks it's fatigue but I've been sleeping every night and eating regularly. Everyone was stumped…why was I the only one showing such odd symptoms?
Journal Entry # 51
I've been quarantined, they only let me bring two things with me. You can guess what the first thing was, I also brought a picture…today marks the first day of living in this hole. This maybe the only way to keep my sanity considering how little human contact I can have.
Journal Entry # 52
It's been a week now…nobody has come…though every so often I'd get a trey of food, which was the highlight of my day. It's strange though…something just isn't feeling right…
Journal Entry # 53
I don't know how long it's been, my entire body just aches for some reason. It could be from the fever I've suddenly contracted…all I can think about is my brother…what would he think if I died in this hole? He'd probably kill me.
Journal Entry # 54
Cold…no wind…nothing…just…cold…I'm alone now, nobody has come. I don't dare look at the picture I thought would keep me company. Every time I do though…it mocks me. Showing me what I've lost because of this stupid, damn, project!
Journal Entry # 55
The world has forgotten about me…I'm as good as dead to the world…they don't remember who I am…where I came from…Well, if that's the case…then I don't care anymore. If the world doesn't care about me, then I don't care about the world…the world has erased my name from its' list of inhabitants…do they even remember what it is!
Journal Entry # 56
My name is Edward Elric…I used to be an alchemist…a State Alchemist at that. Ha! It doesn't exist on this side…look at me…can you hear what I'm saying? It's been a year sense I arrived on this side of the Gate, I said that now that I'm permanently here I'd leave my past behind me. Edward Elric…the FullMetal Alchemist…ha…
-To Be Continued-
If you haven't already noticed, this first little chapter/ prologue thingy was just a series of journal entries written by Edward. It generally shows how after he was put in quarantine and cut off from all human contact how he slowly but surely started to sorta…lose it. Ah, such is the affects of being alone…literally all alone…we humans are a social creature and demand interaction with each other. To cut us off from that would truly drive anyone mad, or at least in Eds case start to really dislike the world for no real reason. On one last note before I end this author note thingy, I also got some of my inspiration from the movie 'Fat Man and Little Boy', we're watching that in U.S. History as well as 'Waterworld'. Ok then, that's all for now…do leave a review! I want to know if I should continue! (Oh! On one more last note! No, every chapter will not be like this. I just did the journal entry thing for this one chapter.)
