Okay, so this is an original character... it does take place in the Fullmetal Alchemist world, but it is also an original character. More of the main characters of the story will come in like, in the way later chapters, but this is it for now.
Chapters are extremely short, I apologise for that. It's just the way this character thinks.
Please enjoy.
The car would be silent if it weren't for the pouring rain just outside the window. It's been raining on and off for days, and we are in the middle of a storm. Thunder echoes every so often, with flashes of lightning following after, and the rain keeps falling. I can hardly see out the windows, and Daerek drives carefully. Because he is deaf, his eyesight is stronger than most, but it is not unconquerable. I can see how tense he is in his shoulders, which are raised slightly, hunched over the steering wheel.
He never hears or minds it, and so I reach out and turn on the radio. It crackles and I look up, just in time to see a pair of headlights headed straight for us. I open my mouth in a silent scream and Daerek jerks the steering wheel to the side.
