Sum of the Parts

by Mage of Dragons

An animeverse drabble collection, on everything and anything. 60: PROMISE: Though he had not spoken it, he had made a promise, one that he could not break. 61: STRONG: Winry Rockbell was not a strong girl. No matter what they said.

1. Blood

A/N: Hi! Welcome to Sum of the Parts. It's a one-a-day drabble set that I started as a writing excersise. And because this is a challenge for myself, I am letting all new readers know that I will take any request, pair or prompt that you throw at me. Anyway, enjoy. And I apologise for this first one being so short.

Marta's blood pours out of his armor, dripping down his metal body, staining the cloth he wears around his waist. He presses his hand to his side, as if to stem the flow of the crimson waterfall. And, as he stands there, unmoving, for a moment he wishes that the blood that is running through his fingers is his blood. Because, then, at least, he'd be able to feel.

Then, at least, he would be able to cry.

A/N: Review? I'll take any advice/flames/constructive criticism.

P.S. Thanks to NaginiFay for alerting me to my stupid posting problem... for some reason, the computer hasn't been uploading all of my fics, even when they appear in the document viewer.
