Rating/Warnings: PG for character death and just plain creepiness.

Summary: In which the Elrics’ battle with Wrath leads to darker, more life-changing results.
Disclaimer: They belong to Hiromu Arakawa. I’m just playing with them.
Notes: Another creepy little byway of the “Things That Never Happened” road. In fact, this one was quickly and spontaneously written over a weekend (and under a marked lack of sleep). I seriously disturbed myself with this concept—but once it wormed its way into my brain, I had to write it. Worse yet, I actually feel an inclination to write a sequel.

( Alphonse felt as if he saw it all in an agonizing, helpless slow-motion. )
