001. Beginnings
It was the beginning of a new era when the sun rose on the east coast that fine day. Alfred F. Jones, the personification of the now United States of America, was perched atop a hill in Jamestown overlooking the Chesapeake Bay, his knees brought up to his chest and enjoying the first early morning sunrise of his now independent nation.
In a way he already felt freer. Even though there were still British troops in New York City and the 'States' of America were more akin to unorganized territories, Alfred simply felt as if a large part of him had just…disappeared.
And he loved the feeling of it.
He was no longer bound by that…that intolerable British man, England, or, as England would say, a 'blooming git'.
"Bah, I'm tired of even thinking those god-awful words of his…" Alfred murmured aloud, frustrated by the fact that the Englishman was still constantly on his mind. "I don't miss him, I do not miss him…" he clenched his eyes shut and nodded furiously, convincing himself.
"Besides, I've got plenty of other, much more important business matters to worry about." America continued, using his hands to push himself up to a standing position, voice steadily rising in volume, "I'm my own country, damnit, I don't need him!" the blonde stomped his foot and clenched his fists, voice rising to a shout. Several birds flitted out of a nearby tree, chased away by the sudden verbalization.
America smiled and nodded to himself, his hands on his hips, as he overlooked the sparkling water and rising sun. He was his own nation, and he was darned proud of himself and his people, too. That stupid England didn't help him get here, to this level of awesomeness, not at all.
The sun wasn't rising on this British colony anymore…it was rising on the United States of America.

And so it begins…
Well anyway, I decided to attempt the 100 prompt challenge because a phail at coming up with ideas for stories. So, the prompts give me inspiration and experience on writing fiction. Hope you enjoy. I'll try to update at least once every day/every other day.
