Future of Central

by Ari-Takao

Fuehrer Bradley has been assassinated by a rogue state alchemist. Edward Elric, the prodigy of the State, has been long gone. Everything's gone to hell, and central has become a ghetto dump. Set in the future

Central. A place said to be the safest of the five districts. At least, that's what the military wants you to think. It's been years after the assassination of the fuehrer, and the establishment of parliament. But those bastards rarely did anything that bettered this damn country. Corruption roamed rampant. Those bitches in suits looked like modest, yet hard-working people. However, in the underworld that is Central, they were crooks. They did it all. They took bribes, sold drugs, and employed hit men to kill all of their political enemies. Hell, any respectable person with half a brain didn't last long. The parliament was dumbing down the society. They didn't want to lose their immense power.
It reminded this state alchemist of the fuehrer, and his covert actions against his people, the Ishbalans.

A mere boy was walking down the street of this gruesome place. To his left, were blood-stained walls. The state never did anything to quell the gangs. Now, almost any little thing would get you shot.

It was dark at night, an unusual time for normal, honest citizens to be out. However, a boy with ruffled, brown hair was walking down the dangerous street! The reason he wasn't getting pounced on probably had to do with the pocket-watch he was swinging around by the chain.

This kid had no name. He was created from a one-night stand fifteen years ago between a traveling alchemist/merchant, and a whore of a mother. She was an Ishbalan, but didn't follow the orthodox customs, nor the local religion. It rubbed off on her son.

The boy had piercing, scarlet eyes, like the rest of his people. These eyes had a certain mystique to them. They showed no fear whatsoever.

However, his skin color was a bit lighter than most ishbalans, which led him to the conclusion that his "father" wasn't from around there.

The dog of the "new and improved" military turned a corner, and came across a horrid scene. He sure as hell wasn't going to stop it though. It wasn't like he was going to get something out of it, and he had nothing to do with it.

For the victim's sake, he hoped that someone else would come to stop this.
