Dabbling in Drabbles of the FMA Variety

by KatsyKat

I'm trying my hand at the art of the 'true drabble': Fullmetal Alchemist style. 100 of them to be exact… funny, serious, happy, sad, good, and most likely some bad. Themes still somewhat open to suggestion. Feedback is always appreciated - good or bad!

12. Insanity

Dabbling in Drabbles of the FMA Varity… 100 of them to be exact

[WARNING! THIS DRABBLE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE END OF ANIME – DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS AT THE END OF THE ORIGINAL FMA ANIME!!!]

You HAVE been warned…

12. Insanity

Ed grit his teeth as Envy's illusions forced Ed to punch through one familiar face after another.

Ed assumed he had overcome the worst of his struggles with insanity when he killed Sloth; the spitting image of his mother.

He was wrong.

As Envy revealed his true face Ed found himself stunned.

The shock of it captured him so completely that even as Envy's hand tore through Ed's chest, he could feel nothing but the realization that two brothers were fighting to the death over their father's sins.

Death, Ed felt, was a welcome respite from the onslaught of insanity.

A/N: Not so happy with this one… not sure exactly why, other than it just seemed grander in my head. Didn't want to be put to paper, I guess. But I wanted to get this chapter out, so I tried really REALLY HARD to post it today. Please let me know what you think.
