My name is Alex Mercer.
People call me a killer, a monster, a terrorist. Put them all together, and that's me.
As I stand here, looking down at the scorched, rotting earth, the dying orange sunset shatters between the buildings, spraying fragments everywhere. There are corpses everywhere, people bound by the will to survive everywhere, and I stand here watching them.
All of this is because of me... Hey, is the camera still recording?
All right, that's enough. The Prototype known as Alex has now said his final goodbye to this world. I hope everyone who watches this video keeps these secrets to themselves. Don't spread them around, or you may very well end up dead.
A few more things: since the people who get this video might be anyone at all, I've cut some details so that it meets standards for all ages.
Finally, special thanks to one person. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be standing here recording this video.
