50. Middles

It's days like this, stuck in the tedium of some meeting or another, that Ed can't help but think his middle won't end. He began the story with his stupidity and started the rising action with his step into the military – but his life story has no climax, and the conflicts just keep coming, and there's absolutely no resolution in sight.

The story of Edward Elric, he thinks, is a long one – sometimes tedious and sometimes sad, and sometimes lonely and painful – and someone needs to write the goddamn ending, already, because this hopelessly endless middle is driving him insane.


For those of you who aren't aware, it was recently confirmed (though there have been many torturously teasing rumors floating around for quite some time prior to this...) on the Anime News Network that work is going to start on a new Fullmetal Alchemist television series soon. :D Supposedly, it's going to be entirely manga-based. (Can you say animated Ling, wut!?) But that's not quite confirmed yet, so don't quote me on it.

...I may or may not have done several major happy dances around my computer when I found out. Several loud 'eee' noises may or may not have left my mouth. I can't be sure, really. ;D

Also -- halfway there! Yay!
