Equivalent Exchange

It was Saturday night. I had snuck past my parents and I turned on my T.V. A show called "Full Metal Alchemist" was on. The beginning said the following: "Humankind cannot gain anything without first sacrificing something of equal value. That is alchemy's and the worlds first law." I was slightly curious as to what this meant. As that ended, the T.V. turned off automatically, and then I blacked out. When I woke up, I was in a strange room with markings all over it. The markings were made of blood, and I looked closely at a marking near me. It said: "Clap your hands an-" The rest was scribbled off. I got up very slowly, and clapped my hands, but nothing happened. I thought of something else: What if I clapped THEN touched the markings? I couldn't think of anything else that would make sense, so I tried it and the markings turned bright blue, but what came before me was the most horrifying thing I have ever seen. It appeared as a humanoid mutant with its rib cage showing. I soon found out it was not alive. I slowly looked at my arm and it was gone, dripping blood and mangled right apart. I looked at my other arm and I saw that it was gone too, and then, even worse things happened, I blacked out again soon after that, I could not remember.
